Default Supercharger Starvation?? Injector size

The only mods I have to this car are shorty headers, exaust, cobra upper and lower intake.

I just bought a Vortech SC-trim (5-6 lbs)

Can i run 24# injectors ? I just bought a new set but someone told me that I would need 30#'s at least.

This seems a little steep to me but was wondering your thoughts!


Thanks

The 19's should work w/ your set up. You start increasing the boost, you'll need to upgrade the fuel system.

Been there, done that.

As long as you run an FMU, the 19 or 24lb'ers will be fine. Make sure you upgrade to a 255lph fuel pump for extra security.

Your plenty safe with 24# injectors and 5 to 6 pounds of boost....I ran 11.96 at 114.5, 155lph pump, 24# injectors, 3.55's, Stock heads & cam + Cobra intake with a 9# Powerdyne SC
