Default 5.0 mustang engine questions

Hello, I am putting together a 306 for my 90' mustang gt. Id say it will be in the 350-380hp range. You guys think I should run a 22# injector or a 24#? And will my stock mas air still work? Thanks

i hope you're not talking rwhp... 24# sounds about right, get a mass air.

IDK they made 22lb injectors? Anyway, 24's along with a bigger MAF will help you reach your goal. I wouldn't have the stock MAF recaled...it isnt worth it. If you already have a twEECer, you can use the stock MAF with the larger injectors.

I am talking about power at the flywheel. I am an engine builder in a NEXTEL Cup shop so getting the power is not a problem, just wasnt sure about the tuning. All my background is carburated.

I wasnt even sure if they made 22# injectors, but 22 just was closer to my BSFC.

Thanks for the input guys.
