Hey guys...I just recently tossed a set of milled gt-40's on my 306 with 24# inj and a 75mm Pro-m MAF. The current compression is just a tad over 9.5 : 1 and my mods are included in my sig. My question is what should i be setting my fuel pressure and timing at? I put the car on a 5 gas analyzer and my A/F ratio at idle was 12.7 and everything else was real good. I dont have a wideband and you can't take the 5 gas in the car while driving so i dont know any A/F ratios when the motor is loaded up. It seems like it is running a little rich (a tad boggy when you get on it at lower RPM). The timing right now is at 14* and the FP is at ~39-40 vac off. My suspiction is that the 24's are just a tad too big but i wouldnt want to risk anything with the 19's. Should i turn down the fuel pressure to compensate for the added flow? I ran 16-17* timing on the old setup with the e7's...no detonation what so ever....i guess the motor liked timing. Should i bump it back up to 16 with the new combo and perhaps drop the FP down to 37-38 vac off to try and lean it out a tad?! How much compensation will the 'puter make in pulsewidth and duration? thanks
-Nick

My setup is not that much different than yours.I think my FP is at 41 and my timing is 14.5.My compression is also at about 9.5 because of the pistons I installed so that's why I don't run my timing higher.You could get away with 19lb injectors with the fuel pressure turned up but the 24's aren't likely hurting anything.
