Mine would peg 12.5psi stock .... with Stage 2 it would hit 15.5psi, and with my Stage 3 pulley it hits 16-16.25psi

most likely, but it could also be a clogged cat if its not stage 2. Check your supercharger pulley. if it has 4 blue bolts its the GM stage 2 pulley.

well stage 2 install was a kit, so it came with everything. If you didnt have those injectors it wouldnt run well. I would think they would need to be removed to see what injectors they were....

You would have to remove them. They should be blue.

If your not experiencing any problems (sputter, very poor performance) than you probably dont need to check...

Well if you have Stage 2, the 42 lb/hr injectors should be installed already, but a visual inspection isnt hard. The injectors sit right under the plastic fuel rail cover that has the Ecotec Supercharged emblem on it. The stock 34 lb/hr injectors have a green plastic connector for the injector harness, and the 42 lb/hr injectors have a black plastic connector for the injector harness. If you see black tops they are the 42's
