RE: 24 pounds
more factors go into it then just rwhp, depends on if its a boosted application NA, fuel pressure your going to run etc... but i would say a little over 300 on your typical setup, my 331 stroker N/A was running 24# just fine, with some 347's we run 30#

RE: 24 pounds
OK guys.. I going a different way NOW.i sold my NOS stuff and my friend of my sold me a Novi 2000 kit for a good price ( $1500 ) and I could not pass it by… Do you guys think that I could use the supercharger that has a 10 pound boost with my 24 pounds injectors ? ? Also what gap do I set my Auto lights too ? [/b]

My engine has the fallowing things, GT40 heads cast iron, ford racing GT 40 intake, E303 ford racing cam, Full Exhaust, 24 pounds injectors, 190 in-take fuel pump, cold air intake, under drive pulleys, C&L meter, MSD box[/b]

[/b]I have swap to the Auto lights 24 plugs gapped at 45 and set the timing at 10* and using 91 octane fuel.[/b]

RE: 24 pounds
I would just sell em and get 30's. Even 19's can theoretically support ~300whp, but that's running at almost 100% duty cycle, which is bad. 24's would be ok for your application, but I'm not sure how close it would be to too much. You typically want to run injectors at or below 80% duty cycle. Besides the peace of mind (which could be fixed with research, but I don't have time for that right now), 30's will leave much more room for improvement down the road, like better bolt ons/increased displacement.
