Now I've gotta choose new Fuel Injectors for the 383

Help guys.....
I sent out what was "thought" to be Bosch 36lb/hr injectors to get cleaned and blueprinted....but the place just got back to me and said they are 24lb/hr ones.
So now I'm left choosing a new set. The engine was dynoed at the builder (carbed since she was out of the car) at 523hp....Now she sits with a Miniram ontop and a bunch of PROM tuning (and ALOT of learning to be done). I'm contemplating on the size o injector....should I go 36lb or leave some room for improvement and go up a size to 42lb?

Whatdaya guys think?? Any brand recommendations?

Thanks
- Joel

Talked with Bosch and they told me to speak with TPIS. So I spoke with Eric at TPIS and he recommended 27lb Bosch ones. The only problem with that is they are about $64 each or about $550 for the set. I'm thinking about just going with some 30lb Bosch ones since I can get a set for $230!

DAMNNNN thats a lot of cash for injectors....wow. I guess you gotta pay the price if you want to run the numbers. Good luck your combo sounds excellent.

Ford injectors. way to go.

I'm running the red tops, 36# hr at 43.5psi.

500+ hp supercharged 355.

Look on ebay. Have 'em checked by cruzin performance. Don't listen to TPIS..

DO NOT go smaller than 36lb injectors, my 30's are getting close to static with about 100 less HP. I still have some room but its close

He's right. The only thing about injectors that should be small, is your pulse widths.

I'm running 50psi at idle, around 60 under boost. (raises about 1:1)

My DC are almost static. I'll be shopping for 42s this winter.
