<FONT size=2>I am looking into upgrading my air and fuel delivery, but am wondering on somethings. I have a 94 auto 5.0, with stock manifold and heads,and am looking into getting: 65mm throttle body, 73mm mass air, adj fuel regulator, 24 lb injectors, diablo chip, and a fuel pump. My problem is whatLPH fuel pump i should run, 110-255,(if i even need one) and if i need to do or getanything else to make all compatable? will i have any problem with timing or anything else? ANY info would be much appreciated!!!!! Thanx.</FONT></P>

well just with those mods stay with the 19 pound injector and use the $$$ toward the exhuast..a 190 pump is all you need.timing @ 12 degrees... hope this helps

I'd recommend thinking of getting a shift kit for transmission or lower rear end gears if you haven't already. It'll help. Also maybe think of an air/fuel gauge so you can keep an eye on what's going on in your engine as you make yourengine upgrades.

I agree withvfast on this one, before you beef up the fuel system, it might be better to get the engine opened up, your ideas about air intake are good, just go with the exhaust first. Get it sounding great, then go with the injectors, etc. 190 should be plenty.

skip the pump.
Do exhaust, gears, shift kit, heads, intake stuff then fuel stuff.

according to the books, the stock injectors are good for fuel delivery up to ~320hp
Even with 30lb injectors at the 300+hp levels my stock (I think, haven't looked at it) fuel pump is fine.
