Default SVO Injectors?

What do 30lb Redtop SVO injectors flow at with stock LT1 fuel pressure?

Sorry for the stupid question.

the ford injector are designed to run at 30lbs at a fuel pressure of 35lbs. Gm lt1 cars have a fuel system pressure of about 42.5. This makes the 30# svo's run at about 35 to 37 pounds.

More like 32lbs... (31.65lbs to be exact). You'll find the SVOs on LT1s on a bolt on setup usually start to get near 128 in the 32+ range.

Hes reffering to your long term fuel trims. When you get a scanning program you'll be able to put 1+1=2.

(1 bar = 14.5037738 psi)
Our cars run @ 3 bar (~43.5psi)
IIRC, Fords run @ 2 bar (~29psi).

I am using stock Cobra 39# injectors. If you are getting a mail order tune, every mail order tuner should know how to tune for SVO 30# injectors, they are one of the most common injectors used on our cars.
