Default Got a question??

Ok i have talked to everybody about this before and i was talkin to a couple of the local drag racers in my area that have 5.0s and they told me that i wouldnt need 42lb injectors like everybody on here was telling me. they told all i would need at the most was 36lb injectors even after i got my hci. I want to make double sure before i buy the injectors because i dont want to have to spend the money on another set because they arent very cheap. you all know that my car is running extremely lean runnin now from the s/c. what do ya'll think about this? I am ready to buy injectors just want to make sure i get the right ones the first time and yes i did find a dyno an hour n a half away from my house.

Well, I run 42's, no fmu and a custom tuned chip. It runs great. How about talking to a tuner, and not guys from a track. Are they running blowers? If so, what's their set ups? Guessing can be expensive. Talk to a tuner.

That's my point. Carbed set ups. Much different than a blown/injected set up. Forced induction, a lot more air flow, more fuel needed to compensate.

Even when all I had was the blower at 9psi. I was running the stock 19's cus ATI said they would work. The car ran just "OK". Then I went to 30's, it ran a lil better but still not great. i talked w/ a local owner of a very reputable speed shop, JPCracing. I'm sure you've seen them in the 5.0 mags(they are in them all the time) He recommended the stuff I have now, I had it tuned and it's never ran better.
