i think u would be safer with 24lbs

Well i was told 19lb are good to about 300hp, when i got my crate motor [rated about 340 at the crank] i was recommended to get 24lb so the 19s were not being "overworked".
Looking at the Anderson Ford site they say if your fitting a B31 cam to use 30lb, so yeh its confusing.

I spoke to Anderson about this, he said 24's are fine you will have no issue but you will not make as much power. I was fine with that since 30's, a meter, and a tune was not in the budget this year.

if you run a more mild cam, you could get away without a dyno tune for now, but the 94/95 computers dont like the cam swap and will lots of times buck at low rpms with the lower vacuum. some times with a hci though you can just swap the meter out and you'll be fine.

you will get more performance with a tune though

this man speaks truth. i have a lunati voodoo cam in mine. and bucks HORRIBLY under 2700rpm. especially with solid motor mounts and a spec3 clutch.

ya, money is kind of an issue. i just want to run this hci on this 302 till winter/spring then im putting the 351w in with a new hci setup. but i want to play with this 302 to see what i can get out of it. just didnt wanna spent to much on something im just playing with. thanks for yalls help tho.

Big diff between flywheel hp and rwhp. When calculating fuels consumption, you go by fwhp. He definetly SHOULD go for 24's. IF he stuck with 19's, he have the injectors running at a much high duty cycle than what would be considered optimal.

I usually don't reply twice to these threads, but you you are doing a mild hci you won't see over 310's.. You will BE FINE with stock injectors..

Very useful to know.
