I have a 68 Chevelle with Proflo 3500, the RPM package with cam and Alum Heads. I would like more HP. What can I get under the hood? Do I have change the injectors or anything else?
Thanks Troy

First you need an estimate of how much crankshaft power you will be making. Then you need to use that to determine what size injectors to use. After that, make sure your fuel pump and fuel lines are sized correctly.
Below is a link to some useful formulas:

The 3500 Pro Flo will not work with MAP sensors higher than 1 bar so you need to work with your supercharger vendor to get a fuel pressure regulator that adds fuel pressure as boost goes up.
Once you add the supercharger, you'll need to re-tune the whole thing.

With the package I bought from Edelbrock I have 308 to the rear tires on the Dyno. I am looking at a procharger or is there a different one? 8 lbs of boost. I should be around 600 at the flywheel. Will the Fuel pump, Injectors, and other compounts work with the setup of the part number in my second posting(1CX100-P1SC Procharger)? Is there one that is better to use? I am starting to put the package together and I need to figure a budget. Thank you for all your time. I have built many cars with your product and have always been happy with your quality.
Thank you
