Too vague. Did it start when you put the s/c in or has the s/c been in for a while? Is your maff cal'd to your 36ers?

Is it stalling or idling rough as well? Some people have issues with injectors larger than 30# without a custom chip or reprogram. Maybe you can try a lower FP for a while. Just don't go lean on the top end

+1 6psi=stock fuel system+fmu or 24lb'ers with cal'd maf. 36 is overkill, but I think it should be fine like said with a tune. Still would explain alot if your maf wasn't cal'd to the 36's. Also, other sensors can cause your 02's to make your car run rich. Try running codes.

u need your computer chipped and tuned cause the computer cant handle over 30lb injectors i have 38lb on my 347 and i havnt had it tuned yet but i will very soon.. since our computers cannot be flashed they must be chipped to shorten the injector pulse.. try to turn your fuel pressure down to 36 before vacuume. and then with the car off make sure u are getting exactly .98 volts to the tps sensor with the green/? wire being the positive. if its not try to loosen it and turn it counter closkwise.. if its close turn the idle screw down to get it there if its way off u can drill the holes a lil to get it to turn where its needed..

He said the MAF is cal'd, at least I think thats what he was getting at. Isn't there something with the injector pulse width with a stock computer and big injectors like that? Like sean was probably getting at with the question about the chip.

I agree, we need more info.

edit wow.. I take a long time to type haha I started typing before sean posted.. 8 mins later I post this, haha thats what I get for watching tv and playing on the internet

Imma shutup and listen on this one, I don't own a supercharger so will never know how it works. I can never afford 5 grand to drop a paxton in mine.
