24lb injectors will do just fine. Once you hit the 400hp mark you can look to go bigger.

It wouldnt make a difference in your injector size but FYI a 75mm is most likely too big. I would stick with the 70mm.

^^^ x 2. A 155 or 190lph fuel pump should be more than enough.

Also, I would make the MAF bigger than the TB. You shouldn't need bigger than a 70mm TB w/ that combo, so go w/ a 75mm MAF.

You will need 24's with that engine and a 155 fuel pump is plenty

because what happens if you blow through, or suck through a straw that is 1" big as opposed to about 1/4".......??????

air velocity means WAY more than air quantity. and air turbulence hurts velocity as well.

when you lose velocity, you lose power. you only need what need and no more.

that setup would run best..the way it sits..w/ a 73 meter, 65 tb, 24 lb. inj. and a 190 pump. use an adj. fpr to knock out unneeded fuel.

probably about 34-36 psi is plenty. (that would aslo support about 400 rear wheel hp) overkill now in speculation of later mods is not good.
