You will run majorly rich w/o some prom/chip burning.

A 3.1l comes with 15lbs, can get "away" with 17, or maybe even as much as 19. I think 21 or 24 would be WAY to much.

Hey Dale, I have a 305 TPI unit and harness sitting in my garage, Do you happen to know what # injectors that would have stock- My guess is 19#- Again its a 305 tpi unit, not a 350.

I know the 350 is 21. I have never investagated the 305.

If you know the hp rating for the engine it came off of, you can fig it out.


(hp rating x .50) / (injector qty X .80)=rating

So for my 3.1l it is

(140 X .50) / ( 6 X .80) = rating.

Thank you too sir-

Now is there any way I can just bolt the V8 TPI to this little V6 (That is a joke, just in case someone thinks I'm serious)
