yeah 80lb injectors on pumpgas can do nearly 1000rwhp on an automatic

im running 80s and e85 now on two of our builds, 100% meth injection im only using about 60 some % of the 80lb injectors at 700rwhp

going to be a sweet ride when its done.
just finshed my build 2 weeks ago, i love it..taking it too a better tuner next week and dynoing it..mines a 5.7 but i have a similar build so ill let you know my numbers soon.

and #80 injectors would be what id recommend for what hp your aiming for, they will support over that but its always nicer to build for future hp so that you dont waste money,
fuel pump wise, my opinion for like 700hp or so id get the dual walbro's with 8an feed and prob 6an return, boost referenced regulator of course and some fuel rails. if your using e85 though then idk cause im not experienced with it at all..haha

I think the 80s will be perfect... im going to use pump gas at first then switch to e85 since im doing my own tuning and this will be my first turbo build. I dont wanna get things to complicate it more...

im running a .221 .228 .581 .588 114 cam in a 5.3 in my 98 camaro. i went with the psi maxlife 1511 springs they are a single spring that use factory seats and retainers, and they are good to .630 lift. i plan on doing a rear mount gt-45 in the future (might put it in the engine bay).

if you using different rod bolts you should get the rods resized, i think its like 10 dollars a rod.

Good looking build so far. I'm also a college freshman doing a similar build. I'm doing a 5.3/TC78 with the Huron Speed kit. Keep it up!

I could be wrong, but I think he is freshening up the whole bottom end. New bearings, etc. Can't re-use tty bolts. Might as well do the ARPs and re-size the rods...
