We'll find out next month hopefully. Do a search, theres plenty of info on it. I decided to play the safe route and use a baby tame cam just to allow for nice driveability while not in boost.

Also a big difference in fuel usage between a blower car and a turbo car correct? Heard it many times from people I would trust....

This is an example for 1000 Crank HP and 80% duty cycle. Requirment for N/A and Boost (should work for either turbo or supercharged).
70lbs min for N/A (if you wanted to play it safe 80lbs)
85lbs min for Boost (if you wanted to play it safe 95lbs)
I posted a formula a while back on how to calculate your injector size. If you know the your crank hp. To answer you question 80lbs injector for turbo application is good for about 925 Crank HP at 80% duty cycle.

I'm really impressed by some of the numbers being turning on those injectors. I thought they gave up a lot sooner. Does the increased pressure have any downsides besides a little more wear on the pumps?
I don't know the guy personally but that's one of the funniest questions I've heard online in a while.
Why don't you brag online about what you do in real life?

i have run a 58 psi base and ran a 1:1 regulater with 80's.... with that setup i have made 900rwhp on a TT vette with my duty cycle in the mid 90's..... the optimal setup in my opinion would be a 100+lb injector low impedence injector , with a low impedence driver box.... then you can drop your base pressure down to 43.5 psi, and possibly go with a 2:1 regulater

driver boxes are a thing of the past with anything up to 190lb high Z injectors being so damm good!
