Support Mods for 16G

[WaWaZat]

I'm considering a 16G & AMS FMIC upgrade to my '97 GS-T. Will I be out of any danger, for now, in a drag racing situation w/my current support???;

Walboro 255HP
3" Cat Back
Crushed 1G BOV
Boost Controller

...stock injectors, no fuel control...yet

If you leave the the boost stock or slightly above, yes. If you have a logger, just slowly turn the boost up untill you see bad things begin to happen, then back it off a bit. If you don't have a logger, leave the boost stock for now untill you can get bigger injectors and a fuel controller.

first off, i hope you have a boost gauge that you are using to tune the boost with and freeing up some of the intake/ intercooler pipes wouldnt hurt

If you don't know how much boost your running, then yes. Get yourself a boost gauge.
With the Walbro, you'll want to get an AFC to help lean you out a bit.

Gotta SPI boost gage intact...no logger however. Currently running 18psi-O-boost according to the SPI. I know an AFC would allow me to lean it out, but right now, it's a budget issue. Just want to make sure with said upgrades, I'm away from any "grenading" danger while at the strip every wkend...for now until more funds can be gathered!

with the 255lph pump, you'll outflow the stock FPR. You NEED a fpr for the 255, if you don't want to go with a fpr, then get a 190lph pump, it will suffice with the 16g.

...but outflowing shouldn't be "dangerous" should it?

I recommend you do some searching ... there are millions of threads about 16gs and people asking this exact thing.
