2.8 fuel pressure

hey guys, i was wondering if there was any way to increase the fuel pressure in my 1987 camaro 2.8L v6 because i swapped a 3.4L into it and figured the extra fuel pressure would help feed the extra ci.

You need bigger injectors, not fuel pressure. Put the injectors from the 3.4l in their.

Both the 3.4l and the 2.8l use same fuel PRESSURE, just diff lb injectors.

Yes, thats what everyone does with the multiport 2.8-3.4 swap. The 2.8 comes with 15lb, the 3.4 comes with 17lb. Swaping injectors is what you need to do.
