Finally installed ATI
Hi everyone,
I am pleased to tell everyone that I have finally installed my ATI Supercharger in my '89 Firebird, 305, TBI, CA Emissions. The project took a full weekend, I am driving it, as with any project I had to make some minor mods along the way. I love the extra power this gave my car. I took lots of pics,if anyone wants to see just let me know and I will post them. I have to take the car to get fine tuned, however I it tuned to run rich. Also I need to make the car run cooler, I have 160 deg setup, but when I add boost the temp goes up. I have a stage II pump, need to make my air damm and put the plastic fender pieces in to get all air flow into the radiator. Just wanted to let everyone know. Dyno time!!!

a 160 deg thermostat does nothing for cooling if u still have the factory cooling fans come on at factory settings.the car will take longer to heat up with a 160 thermostat so eventually it will go to the same temperatures as it did with stock thermostat(due to factory cooling fan come on temperature).this of course is while sitting in traffic.sure your car overheats with your supercharger....because thats like running a big block chevy with a v6 radiator(hint hint).

So what major modifications needed to be done??
If you don't mind sharing, what was the total final cost??
Any problems with running the boost throught the TBI, any rich or lean conditions?
Let's see all the pics you have or a link to a site that has them......
