Default Bought a P1SC...What Should I Expect?

Hey,

I just picked up a P1SC kit with the standard dual intercoolers. I plan to run it with my current setup TR224-112, PnP 243 heads, LS6 intake and the rest of the stuff in my sig.

My questions are:

What kind of power/tq should I expect?
I have 33lb@43.5 injectors. Will they be enough?
No dyno in my area. I use EFI Live. How difficult will it be to tune?

I will take the N2O off and sell it.
I expect to run 5lbs of boost.

Thanks

Not too sure about a lot of that, but I know that 33lb injectors are not going to be enough. I'd go with either 42 lb or 60 to play it safe.

As has been mentioned, you need to go with larger 60# injectors.
I wouldn't mess around with 5 lbs of boost, I'd go for 7 or 8 lbs. 5 lbs would make your combination seem weak, and would take more rpm to even feel it. 8 lbs should give you approx 140 extra rwhp.

Tuning with forced induction can quickly lead to a broken piston if you're not familiar with the aspects of the fuel and timing requirements. I'd try to find someone with a similar combination that can give you a copy of their tune for starters, and shoot for an air/fuel ratio above 5000 rpm of 11.5/1, and pull the timing back to 18 degrees.

If you need any piece parts to complete your installation, I have most of them listed at this link. http://shop.brutespeed.com/98-02-F-Body_c181.htm Bob

Bob,
Thank you very much for the info. I will pick up a set of 60lb injectors.

As far as tuning, I will post up on EFI Live to ask for a base tune. I run N/A at around 24 degrees and 12.4/1. I am brand new to FI so I will play it safe.

Also, I have a Racetronix pump that runs at about 68lbs. I pulled it out and went back to a stock pump because the Racetronix was difficult to tune for at that pressure. I'm sure I will need the bigger pump. Do you think I will need a regulator?

Thanks again,
Bob

I would switch back to the Racetronix pump and maybe get a set of fuel rails with an aftermarket regulator rail mounted for better FP control.

You're welcome!
I agree with Packy, switch back to the Racetronix pump and the regulator will help you to dial back the fuel pressure so you can find a base tune to start with. Bob

Yeah, I would definitely go with 7-8lbs like Bob said. Should put you around the 500 mark.

Thank you for the replies. They have been helpful. Could someone point in the right direction for a fuel pressure regulator?
I'm not real sure of the best way to go
Thanks
