What if when I fix my car i was able to fix my stock motor. If i did and went with TFS Twisted Wedge heads, TFS stage 1 cam, 1.7 or 1.6 roller rockers and shorties. What size inj would be the best. I have heard people using 24's but then have heard that they were pushing it. Would 30's be too big? I just PM'd Guero and he has some stuff for sale just getting an idea whould would be good for a setup like that.

What kind of tune are you looking at?

as long as you dyno tune it you can go with as big an injector as you want, the tune will tell the injectors how much fuel to flow, 24's are ok...Steve at powertrain dynamics told me to use em' on my 331, AFR 185's and TFS stage 2 cam, but you can get any size and try to use a LMAF, it's better for driveability

Paul I have no idea. he has a 90mm LMAF I might buy. Said it wasn't specified for any size you gotta set it with a tuner. Would a 90 be too big?

I'd go bigger than 24s and get a tune - buy once and get 'er done.

with the airflow the AFR/TFS heads can flow...I would go no less than 30's.

Heck, I am half heartedly thinking about going to 30's on my ported gt40 headed setup.

#24's would get you by

if you get a deal on the #30's and a #90mm maf then do those + custom tune

If i where in your place , first i would think on a long term , anyway you will get a tune right?, if that is the case i would go bigger if you are planing a forced induction why not get the whole combo at once is really cheap on a long term planning!

Here is a good combo i would buy if i am planing on a short/long/looong term forced induccion :

I am thinking long term but i'm also thinking budget. If I ever go turbo it will be a long ways away. I have been planing this combo for a long time. I know people like custom cams and all that and different heads but beings I have the TFS intake I want to stick with TFS. Also if I can get a good deal on stuff I'm not gonna pass it up if I got the money to get stuff. even if I don't fix the car right away I have the parts so I'm ready when the time comes

24's are dangerously close
or
Over the limit
with an after market h/c/i combo and running stock fuel pressure :Word:

If you are gonna tune ... go 30's

If you are gonna try and get by with no tune .........
run 24's at elevated fuel pressures

Talked about this many times

Here is more info

Thanks for posting Grady. I was hoping you would at some point so as I update this on what I'm getting you could help me out. You have to be the smartest guy on SN. I'm def. getting the 90mm LMAF and cai with k&n filter. Depends how fast he wants to move the rest if I can scrape up the money to buy more off of him. I'd love to get the 30's and Tweecer. I know I'll need them both eventually

I went with 42s detuned. The price wasn't much different for the injectors and it's easier to tune for the dry shot of nitrous. OR a blower down the road.

Oh, and have I ever mentioned BuyFordRacing can kiss my..... buy the stuff from somewhere else that will price match them.

If you have ANY plans of boost down the road 42's are going to be the best route.
