Baller on a budget, looking for ideas.
I recently bought a gt40 upper and lower intake. Im thinking cheap, cast heads soon, and install new heads intake and injectors and a t/b maff ect. Id rather keep my bottom end, do a decent top end set up to hold me over for awhile.
I recently had a hole in the fill tank seal, and was looking at this kit:
But then, since my car is old, and worn, maybe since ill have the tank out, i might as well replace the fuel pump.

Which made me look at this combo.

Now, is this a good future plan?
Would 24#'s be perfect for a 70mm t/b gt40 heads ?
Or should i step it up to 30#'s?
Id just rather not buy the package deal if id be better of with bigger injectors.
Im trying to plan ahead.

what heads are you looking at? if you're staying stock bottom end with cast iron heads, the 19# injectors will work fine. if you go with the 24#, no computer tuning is needed if the MAF is calibrated for them.

Ok thanks guys, i did a good 3 hours of reading last night
and found out this sum'd up
If i want a larger t/b, i need a larger sized maf.
Maf size > t/b size
If i want larger injectors:
I need either:
A - A tune for the computer ( which is expensive )
B - A calibrated maff, ( less expensive ) Althought a calibrated maff only tricks the computer.
If im doing both (injectors and maff ) its best to just buy the injectors and a pro-m maf.
I have a gt40 intake, so id like to go as big as possible and run a 70mm t/b ( although i think with my purchase it came with a t/b im not to sure what size it is. )
And ill use my 19# injectors in the gt40 intake. The goal is to find a F2VF-12B579-A2A which i believe is 70mm, to go with my set up.
Baller on a budget success?
