Injector limits
Anyone know what peak HP injectors are around the 80% duty cycle on 22 24 26 lb injectors?

Re: Injector limits
Would 26lb injectors run too rich on a stock 350?
Bottom line is Im thinkning of adding a turbo at 4 psi.
Im reading about other setups running on 24lb injectors upto 6psi claiming to get 400 rwhp.
Im not expecting to reach 400hp but around the 330 would be nice.
I have to add, your bird looks amazing, lots of work lots of love. The gauges man, I love it.

Re: Injector limits
When you run the injector calculator program you will notice that you have to change the brake specific fuel consumption from .5 to .6 for a turbo engine, thus requiring a larger injector.
The 80 % number is for helping select an initial injector size by giving you a little leeway, not a hard number you must hit for proper operation. Guys making 400 wheel horsepower on 24 lb injectors are probably running near a 100 % duty cycle,at a higher than 43 psi base fuel pressure.
If you can make a fairly accurate prediction of your crankshaft horsepower the calculator will get you close enough and tuning will get you the rest of the way.
