injector question

[95gtdrop]

will moving up to 24# injectors help me out with my cobra intake swap, or am i better off waiting til the heads and cam come into play?

They will help. you will probably have to get a MAF that matches, and possibly a tune to make it all work correctly.

19lbs are good for upto [and probably just over] 300hp, 24lb probably wont do you any good until you have the rest in place.
Depends what your going to be making power wise at the end.

Ok I'll wait till the hears and cam come into the picture. I might as well get it tuned all at once thanks

go right to the 30's and mass air if you're doing an HCI swap AND a tune.

yeah id say go straight to 30+ lbs when you do it, better for future mods and what-not

 

[95gtdrop]

Good to know. Thanks

I had 24# on my HCI 302, and it was asking for more. I ended up with 30#, and the car pulls great with them.

What???

There is no need for 30lb injectors.

24's should be more than sufficient.

I have every bolt-on imaginable..and I have 24's.

Infact, I added another 3% of fuel and still have plenty of injector to go..

24's are fine for a H/C/I 302

didnt say anything about him needing them, saying that its better to buy bigger now to buy them once so if there are future mods after the h/c/i, i.e. power adder, then they will be more suited for it, and if theres no power adder in the future they will work just fine on the basic h/c/i

I am going to 24's but my question is if I went to 30's would the tune tell the injector's to open for a shorter time or open less to decrease the amount of fuel? I know the tuner will know, this is for my own info, and if it is tuned will I need a maf calibrated for the 24's or 30's or can the tuner change it in the tune?

 

[stang94X]

if you have it tuned then it doesnt matter what the maf is

 

[mikey94gt]

you can change the MAF calibration in the computer, but it is easier to tune if you buy the right MAF for your injectors.

but it is easier to tune if you buy the right MAF for your injectors.

Absolutely..
