All Im saying is a 30-32# injector at 43.5 psi, being almost a 36#inj at 58 pis flows 20% more as it is. If you can get 37#ish inj for a reasonable price I could see that maybe, but 42s? ive seen most guys having more problems tuning the 42s then almost every other injector, and this guy seems concerned about that

On a FI application, no matter what power it makes, I use the Moto 60s you guys sell over 42s because they just seem to fall in line better. Used both many times, I just dont like the 42s Ive used. I agree on overkill better then under I think the same way you do, but your average guy just getting software sometimes has problems with part throttle/idling/mileage issues with a big injector.

using that calculator you posted it recommends (using the high end of flywheel hp you stated 525) 80% DC 42 # inj at a BSFC of .60 .60 is something Id expect to see in a blown motor, not an NA motor though.
Arent they usually .47-.53 BSFC?

What measured BSFC readings have you measured on these motors NA?

Blower motors need a LOT of injector because BSFC is usually higher then a NA motor, that and your fueling the power made in the cylinder, but good portion of that never shows up in rearwheel hp because the blower consumes so much

see i dont wanna dump a lot more money into injectors and i really am concerned about tuning since i will be doing it my self with hp tuners. would 36 or 37 suffice? i see those ones at EAD are cheap for the 36# they are 169.95 and i like that a lot better. what do you guys think about that? and what do you think about having to tune that?

also i sent an email to racetronix about considering gettin just a fuel pump. i would hate to lose out on some money since i already have the wiring kit. i could send it back for a restocking fee but im in college and on a tight budget for this head and cam project. i want to do it all right but every dollar i can save helps out tons!!!

T oprevent further back and forth do this: start a post called What injectors to run in my heads cam setup. Ask if 30, 36s or 42s would be the choice, and what other people run around the power level your looking for NA.

that sounds like that would get me more info however this thread has gotten me more information than the 4 or 5 threads i started specific to my question. from what that site shows, 36's would be fine. and racetronix did reply to my emails but my account didnt get them until late today. i already started a post about tuning and got that figured out
