Default Any problem goin 42lb greentops cam only?

I have a racetronix fuel kit and torquer v3, ls6 intake, full boltons. I need new injectors. I figure the green tops will be good from a tuning stand point because i have all the necessary manufacturer information.

Will flowmatched greentop 42 lbers be fine for me? I think they flow 46 lbs @ 58 psi.

I realize they are too much for my current setup but I may build a bigger engine or do some other power adder eventually. It will also be nice having the ability to switch to a dry shot if i want.

Any problems with going to the 42 lbers. Will they waste fuel at idle? I noticed their minimum pulse width is smaller than stock so I think they might be able to get low enough to be useful.

The should be able to be tuned just fine for your setup...as you said a little much but gives you plenty to grow if need be.

I believe they are 42lb @ Fords 39.15 psi rating. That puts you at 51lb @ 58psi. Thats a lot for a cam only car and makes tuning a whole lot harder.

I've heard the same so I got them for mine also. I plan on adding a dry shot to mine so I needed the extra anyway.
