pretty sure you need bigger injectors as well as a tune... kind of a big cam, what's the duration?


and if it isn't tuned... well there you have your problem a really big change and the computer doesn't know what's going on.

24 lb injectors, i would go 36lb they can handle pretty much all changes in cam and bolt ons and more, so u won't have to change them again. When u make changes in injectors the computer keeps the injectors open in millaseconds if the computer doesn't know the change to bigger u are dumping more fuel. U have a big cam in there now, is it tuned for it? Because it should be, that cam untuned will shut the car down. Hope this makes sense.

Specifically what codes are you getting? Usually injectors are more reliable than the wiring.

get some 42LB injectors, they will be able to support what you have comfortably as well as leave some room to grow, I am fairly certain that you are probably maxing out the duty cycle on the stockers.

It's called a noid light. Auto parts stores have them.

42lbs might be a bit of over kill, 36lbs will do great and still have room to grow

True, but why not do it all out the first time around since we all know we end up wanting more eventually


But yes, either will work fine, when shopping for injectors just be sure to get HIGH impedance and stay away from MSD 50#.

Unplug injector harness and install noise light. Then have someone crank the engine and see if the light pulses. Do not this on every injector harness.
