Default Flood Or Not?

i rebuilt my car about 1 1/2 years ago. it has a cobra intake, 75mm tb, 76 mm maf, World Windsor Jr. 180 heads, 1.6 rockers, stock injectors, longtube headers, x-pipe, built AOD tranny, 4.10 gears.

my question is i have found a set of 24lb. injectors (blue tops), that have had flow work. the guy showed me the paperwork from a Ron Anderson Motorsports that he spent $324.00 on having them flowed. the paperwork states that they flow within a 99% of each other. my question is with my car i planned on buying these injectors, installing a 155 or 190 lph pump and i bought a holley pressure regulator. will these boost my car or just flood it out?

please help before i waste my money!!

set the PSI correctly on your regulator 24#ers would be more ideal for your build anyways. you are somewhere around 300 HP which would be close to the stock 19#ers duty cycle max. i say do it if you got the money.

well i lucked out on the injectors. even though he had the flow work done, he sold them to me for a 100 bucks. he also has a MSD Pro Billet distributor for sell to for two bills. so i now have the injectors, the old lady just picked them up on her way home from work. what is around the correct psi they should run?

mmm...a nominal amount. you're basically taking the strain off of some of the parts. basically less chance of failure and more effecient running conditions and room for development later.

i hope so, it seems like right now, it strains itself. i dont know what its problem is. not to mention i fill my tank up as much as i eat, and im not little by no means, lol. and it empties itself out as much as i do, lol. seriously. youd think that stepping up the fuel system would mean worse mileage. is that true also?
