Well as in my sig i plan on getting a 255 fuel pump and 42# injectors with a larger mass air meter probably a C&L..Is this too much for the h/c/i..later on down the line..probably much later like a few years i plan to supercharge so im thinking ahead..What do you think? Would i need a FPR for this set up too? Thanks

42lb injectors are wayyyy to big for that setup. unless you are putting a s trim on there with high boost

If your going to run a supercharger in the future, 42's are a good choice. However, i dont think i would run them for a couple of years on a street car unless you have some way to electronically tune it. Your going to have driveability and A/F ratio problems most likely.

Even with a proper MAF for the bigger injectors they will run way to rich and give you some problems with starting and you will run very rich.

Don't go any bigger than 30lb injectors with a h/c/i setup like that...

Good Luck

I would say 24# or maybe 30#. Definately nor 42#. Wait for when you get your s/c and they you will need the new injectors.

Trick Flow recommends 24 or 30. Those 42's are too big. Unless you get a GOOD tuner that is willing to tune your combo with the 42's, get the smaller injectors.

I am running 30's and seems to run great but I will know for sure on the seventh . Going to the dyno . I would think with no power adder 24's would do the job.

if you want to run a chip and have someone tune it you can run the injectors without a problem. more is better than not enough. but on the other hand the cost of all that your prob better off just buying another set to use until you get the s/c

Click to expand...

Well if you get the 30's (what I have) you still won't really have "room to grow" because let's say you add the supercharger...those will be to small. The 30's will be able to handle anything you can throw at it N/A with the 302 bottomend though...
