Nice looking ride. What was your mph? Seems the injectors are small since you should be making ~400 rwhp. What fuel presure are you running I didnt see an FMU

Nice ride man. I like that color and your wheel choice is nice. Car sounds good too. I can't wait to get my cowl hood back from the body shop. Is yours a 3in cowl hood?
Edit: never mind just read its a 2in, it looks good man.

FMU = Fuel management unit

Usually adds fuel pressure based on boost pressure. Here is a place for info

I ran 11 psi Supercharged and used 42 lb injectors at 58 psi fuel pressure. Many use an FMU on Supercharged vehicles. The reason I mention this is your injectors if 30 lbs seem small for your power.

http://mustangpartstech.com/FuelInjectorMath.html

This is an example of why I mentioned it. Note the 30 lb are shown to be 'adequate' to 320 hp. BUT with 63 psi fuel pressure you are 'ok'...Are your injectors red top? Or green? Red is 30 green 42.

I maxed out 30 with 6 psi with a small cam, wanted to mention the concern so you can check to AVOID a problem.

God luck

No don't panic.

I think if you do the pressure calculation you are safe. Just not alot of margin. Also if you change injectors the tune must change, well injector size will need to change. Since you have a charged car datamaster and tunercat are a must!

You can't trust the monitor and loving care to someone else. It is obdI right.

I would get Ford 42 (Green tops) that will give you a safety MARGIN. Like I said I wanted to let you know I didn't want to cause you to panic.

Good luck

Well its better to be safe than sorry. I definitley appreciate your help! She has alot of things in store for her in the next few weeks. Gears, moser axels, new stall, aluminum driveshaft, and hopefully a 10 point cage. Might as well add injectors and a good FMU to the list!

I recommend the 42 lb, but the FMU is overkill IMO. I prefer to limit the complexity of a system and therefore would go with straight 42 lb. Now if you want more margin you could go 50 lb which would give you plenty of room for growth. If you add an FMU if it fails you lose motor. I mentioned FMU thinking you left it off list.

I would put cage and injectors (42 or 50) at the top of the list to be done first. And from MPH I would recomend waiting on gears until you run with traction it seems healthy!
