Ok so I have the pms and obviously I can have it tuned around when the time comes . For first start sake I like them to be matched up as far as injector to meter calibration so I can drive the car around to break it in etc .

How do the masses feel about a pro m 80 cal for 60lb injectors with seimens deka 57lb injectors ? I got them for basically nothing and the meter I bought knowing I was gonna switch to 60s . Trying not to waist 100 bucks on a cal if I don't have to .

60's are good to the 750 flywheel hp area If I remember correctly. So you should be fine. My Devils advocate moment has to point out that I would probably buy 80's for future growth. The whole "buy once" mentality. Even though I hypocritically didn't do this for my present build myself.

You should be fine Jeff. When you data log you will see the duty cycle on the injectors and if they are mexing out at your hp level.

Yeah it wasn't the maxing out part I was so worried about it was not waisting money on a meter calibration when the injectors are only 3 lbs shy of the calibration just to get the car running and driving and motor broken in .

I'm thinking being I am tuned on my old stuff I may start the car with the stock fuel system and my 42s in it cruise it and run it and once I am broken in I'll get the fuel system in and get this bad boy re tuned

^^ This exactly If you plan on driving to car to break it in then leave the tune and injectors/mass air that was in it alone. It would be easy enough to swap the mass air and injectors on the dyno.

If you aren't too worried about a break in then set it all up and trailer it down to the dyno. (Personally, I warm it up and re torque the head studs. Strap it down and rock and roll) As far as 57lb injectors and a 60lb mass air, you should be fine. There should be a table for injector offset to compensate for that little variation

I want to break it in lol . I may just do that then and then when I am ready I'll swap the injectors and meter and load it on the trailer and come down . Kris was happy the last time that I had the car running and driving Cuz it saved him a head ache
