well its finally on but before i fire it up, is there a way to prime the charger or can i just fire it without worry? it is a used blower if that matters

if you mean prime the oil line, just turn the motor over for a few second (10 or so), and check to see if oil is coming out of the return line..

should i change my plugs? i filed them out and im going to buy new ones. im running autolite 3924s. are those ok or should i change them?

I would get new ones and gap them .028

Just start it. You will be fine. SGS told me to run the autolite at .026 gap. Drop 1 heat range colder.

i just put autolite 3924s at .030. do you think i should change them? as for the timing, i have it set at 10*. what kinda fuel pressure should i start at? i cut the bottom of the pcv valve off so theres nothing in it now and i have a breather on the pass side valve cover. correct me if any of this is wrong. someone lead me in the right direction. im going to set up an appointment for a tune at sgs asap.

Wrong wrong wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Put that PVC back on and get rid of that retarded breather!!!!!!!!!!! Set base fuel at 42PSI gap the plugs at .026. Dave will do your timing at 14* when you get there. You running any kind of timing retard now? If not then set it at 10* and DO NOT GET IN THE THROTTLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please. We dont want what happened to me happen to you. HAHAHAHAHAAH I will give you the plug number tomorrow so you get the right one.

for what it's worth i've ran an s-trim and 2 different turbo's 60mm and a 76mm running both a breather and a pcv without issue on different cars. personally have run a gap range from .28 to .34 without noticing any difference or issues. I currently run .30 gap. I am using autolite 3923 spark plugs, but 24's are ok. good luck with your car. and like wick said.. please don't boost the car without pulling timing, it's just bad lol.

X2 I ran the stock pcv and a valve cover breather for years on my 93 vortech blown cobra without an issue.
