Default Which Injectors

I am building a 331 stroker, gt40p heads, e cam, with about 9 or 9.5:1 CR. It is going to be NA for now but eventually I want to add a supercharger. Should I go with 24 or 30 lb injectors?

you can run with 30s with a proper tuned setup

but for that setup go 24s

Thats alot of COmpression for charged, if you want to run a fair amount of boost lower compression is better dude

Yeah its a bit steep but if i do add a supercharger it will be in 2-3 years after college. Even then i would probably only run maybe 8 lbs of boost. I dont want the compression so low that it will suck for the whole time its NA.

9.0 is fine for compression. its actually stock. hell 9.5 is fine

you guys are so worried about little things. yes ideal CR is around 8 to 8.5 but up to 10.0 works

with a tune its safe. now if you tune a car for peak numbers it wont last, if you tune it for longivity it will last
