Is 24lb Injectors Good Enough Or Do I Need 30s?

Markus said:

I run 24lbs with my 331. The duty cycle is 80-85 % with 50 psi fuel pressure.
I´m change to 30 pounders. So i think the 24 lbs injectores are not sufficent for your application.

Your engine is probably making a good 30hp more than his will with your AFR 185's vs. his Edelbrock Performers. That 30hp difference may be what's putting you over the edge and what may keep him in the safe zone?

I still think he'll be close, but passable if he pulls a little engine timing and takes a little steam out of the sales.

hmm so should i go thirties then or 42s? cus if i go 30's i will be fine til i turbo it then i will need 42's but if i get 42's now will i run into any issues?

Either injector (the 30's or the 42's) is going to require a tune or MAF calibraion in order to run properly, so go with the 42's. They'll idle and run just fine for the time being.....if they're needed.

Again, we can throw all the guesses out you'd like, but you won't know for certain until you get it on the dyno.
