Re: New 350 question

Mirocz87,

Its not necessary to install larger than stock injectors for a mild build. If anything you should install an adj fuel pressure regulator. Whats the numbers on your cam? Over all you shouldn't need to use larger injectors for a mellow build. Save the money for a custom chip, headers, sfc, etc.

Re: New 350 question

he didn't do a mild build. he went to a bigger motor.

the injectors you have are 19 lb/hr injectors. factory 350's use 22lb/hr injectors which should be ok for the mild 350 you have installed. i would get the adjustable fuel pressure regulator also. it helps with the tuning aspect.

Re: New 350 question

You also need the ESC module and the knock sensor for a 350.

Re: New 350 question

Oops yes Jeff is right I misread... the stock injectors for a 350 is 22 you can go 24 if you plan on doing some more mods down the line. You can always adjust the pressure for what the situation deems fit if you want to go with the 24lbs. I like my ford blue top 24 s but I also have a few other mods done. Check the pricing.. if your not going to do any future mods I would stick with the 22lbs. Not like your going to notice a difference in a mellow build.
