It might be gaining them unsafely as well, usually people add timing or lean out for power, although if you're much too lean you'll lose power.i wounder if its loosing a few ponies up top because its leaning out
very true,
i wish i could get some 24's by saturday, i probably going to have to wait an extra week
Do you ever plan on adding some sort of power adder like forced induction, or nitrous? If so, why not go with a set of 30's or even 42's? They can be tuned just as easily as a set of 19's and if or when later on you do ever need additional fuel they'll be up to the task. A set of 24's won't be good for any more than about 330-350rwhp and you'll make more than that at this point with any power adder.
i have considered a small shot of nitrous, but not to sure just yet, so 30's would be a better bet?
30's with nitrous is probably safe for up to about 360rwhp....so as long as you keep it under a 50-shot you'll be fine. Anything more than that and you'll probably start getting back up into the 80%-90% duty cycle range...and you don't want that. I'd go with 42's. Remember, when adding nitrous, or forced induction to the mix, the BSFC rate changes and an injector that would normally feed 350hp in N/A trim won't cut it when trying to keep up with a power adder. Bigger is always in the case, better. A set of 42's won't affect your idle or drivability what so ever by comparison and they cost nearly the same as 30's...so for my money, I'd go with them.
Too much injector can always be tuned around, but too little can't.
well i found a cheap set of 24 's on ebay, so i bought them, and there coming up from miami, so i should have them by friday.

, my tuners computer is on back order, and told me he will have it by the 26th
so right now im just running a base tune he gave me so i could run the 24's, and not be lean..........
ill be sure to post up the final numbers!!!
