Less fuel from the injectors by going to 11.1? Hi, I'm new to this forum.
I'm rebuilding my LT4 383 motor from 9.5.1 to 11.1.1 compression. My question is, will I be using less fuel from the injectors by going to 11.1? It would stand to reason that you would.

Your brake specific fuel consumption should be less with higher compression. This does indeed mean better fuel economy. However, the difference is only a few percent at best, so I don't think it will impact your injector size selection. Also, if your CR is high enough to make you reduce timing any, you can forget the improved economy.
