Default Deka 80's - Matched?

Hey all,

Long time lurker, first time poster!

Currently building a 5.3 turbo on pump gas (albeit 95 octane that we have here, no e85 sadly) and am looking to build a fuel system. The build is forged bottom end with dished DSS pistons (should be around 9:1), stage 2 turbo cam, springs etc going through a 4l80e with a gen 2.5 VS 7875 billet turbo (slightly regretting going for the smaller 0.96 A/R!)
Is there a need to buy matched Deka 80's or are they fine as they come (genuine ones)?

Also, how far can twin 255 pumps go on pump gas?


Many thanks,

Joe

I'm in the same boat, but I'm ordering flow matched as there can be a pretty big variance sometimes between them and I don't want premature failure do to a few bucks shaper and have one not spray as much as the others

Where are you buying from? I'm struggling finding then here in the UK in sets of 8. I would just got for SEP 1000cc's but they never seem to be in stock?
