19# or 24# injectors with h/c/i ??

jb89coupe · Sep 11, 2004

First off my current setup is in my sig. I want to pick up a Performer intake, 70mm tb, and a Pro M 80mm mas (soon, like this week). My question is whether my 19# injectors would be cool even if I rebuild and upgrade the h/c this winter.
I have to decide this before I buy the mas so I know which one to get. I don't plan on any power adders. Will I run into starvation problems with 19#s? Some people seem to say get at least 24# for a h/c/i combo, others say stay with 19#s unless you run a power adder. Anyone have some real world advice for me?

Thanks

Then ask yourself this, what's the point in upgrading the mas & throttle & even the intake @ that if your not going to upgrade the injectors, if your going to do anything do the heads, heads are the biggest bottleneck in the mustang gt's.

I'm running 24#'ers without a power adder, and stock heads. Just a cam and intake, TB and MAF, and the 19's weren't keeping up. Many people have pulled it off over 300HP, but better safe than sorry. If you are doing H/C/I, than you may as well step up to 24# and get an adjustable FPR. It's better to run larger injectors than necessary at a lower pressure than have injectors too small and be maxing them out. The main thing is to have the right MAF sensor for them- you want it to be calibrated for the injectors you have.

For most n/a 302's the 19# are ok. If need be get an AFPR instead and increase fuel pressure.

The lower intake is actually the biggest bottle neck.
Your plans sound very good. I like the approach you are taking.
I agree with giddyup306 on using 19 lb,ers for your setup.
I have personally seen 19's work fine in N/A for cars upto 350 RWHP. If you feel like going with more or add a power adder later then upgrade.

I am at this same route right now and my car is making some pretty good power for having Bone Stock heads, rockers, headers and such.
Although I will be replacing my shortblock before I get the new parts.
