V3

Are you setting this up to race or more daily driving. 8-12 psi is getting into some serious boost and horsepower.

Both! I want to be able to drive & can drive with some driveability issues but I only want to buy these parts once. I've done an SC set-up on my 1977 F150 but it is a roots 671 with dual carbs. I had this motor built for this much boost and I want to use it to its full potential. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

V3

Fuel Injector Calculator from WitchHunter Performance will help you with the injector sizing provided you can make a fair estimate of your fwhp. I stayed with the 24#ers and FMU because I like it for daily driving. I had to change from a C&l to Pro M maf when I installed the SC to get a decent idle. One more thing, DYNO TUNE after you get it all together!
