If it's going bad, buy one and anticipate for future modifications - get the big one (255 like BH said). If it's not going bad, don't worry about it.

I assume you've already got an adjustible fuel pressure regulator? I know the 30lb injectors like a bit more pressure than stock, and I'd assume that the 24's would be somewhere in between.

Im agreeing with that, a lot, so what size is about right. 155 sound alright? too much? too little? mind the mods... AFR185 heads and bigger cam to come btw... </P>


I get this bumping sound (bad combustion maybe?) and it chokes the engine for that one explosion which I think is fuel not getting to the cylinder, or enough. So Im going to replace the fuel pump. </P><edited><editID>Milky</editID><editDate>38006.0663773148</editDate></edited>
