Default need help choosing correct parts

I am rebuilding (first time) the top end of my 91 5.0 and have a few things Im unsure about. So far I have bought a steeda ported upper & lower intake and trick-flow heads. I also have done all the stuff in my signature line. I DONT have any plans to get S/C.

1) What rate injectors should I get?
2) What rate fuel pump?
3) Do I need a different Fuel pressure regulator?
4) Do I need to replace Airmass meter, if so which kind?
5) Which cam should I get. I want it to be driveable but still have that lumpy idle
6) Am I missing NE thing?

ok from the mods you listed this is what i think you should get.


1. 24lb/hr injectors, with those heads and intake manifold flowing so much air, you will need the big injectors.

2. anything above 155 lph, you are not running forced induction so anything up to 200 is more than enough.

3. you will need a fuel pressure regulator to properly tune your engine. get a BBK or aeromotive one from summit.

4. yes, go to jdsperformance.com and go to the 5.0 ford section, there will be a selection of MAF sensors, get the biggest one and if money is not an issue go with a 76mm PRO-M unit.

5. this question is for the pros at compcams. visit their website, call them up and tell them exactly what you want and they will have a cam for you, i promise.

6. you are missing a vortech.

you will have to get a maf sensor if you change the injectors which i would recommend to do so you will have to a get a meter calibrated for the 24#'s and as for a cam if you want a good streetable cam go with a "E" cam which is a great cam and will give you plenty of "lump" at idle and you will still have lots of low end power but if ya want more upper rpm range power than a "B" cam might be just for you o yeah you might want to get a 70mm throttle body to while you are doing all of this
