Default Maxed out injector duty%

Alright, from about 5000 to 6500 rpms the inj duty% goes from 80% to 100% respectively. Should I upgrade fuel pump, injectors, or both?

I hear with a better fuel pump you'll get more out of the injectors.
Thanks alot guys.

IMHO Anything above 85% is pushing it. My .02 is just to go ahead and bite the bullet and get yourself a new pump and a nice set of injectors.

I had the same problem it was the injectors not the pump. I put in 42lbs and got it fixed.

If fuel pressure is dropping you need more pump, if fuel pressure is not dropping you need injectors.

Tonight's run was much worse; 111% at 6600. I can actually feel the power drain before the shift. Kinda makes me nervous to keep running like that. Maybe I'll set my shifts back to 6000 til I get injectors.

I didn't think I would need to upgrade injectors with just a mild cam swap.
cam is 225/225 .580/.580 114 lsa

Will 28 or 32 lb'ers (delphi) work since the only other mods I'm planning are 5.3 ported heads? And I may not even do them.

Sorry to get off topic but INTMD8, are you running a production TT kit (like Incon) or is it custom made? I've wanted a big cube TT as long as I remember, and I'm hoping there's an easier way to go about it than fabbing everything from scratch.

I would also go with the SVO 42lb injectors. Yes they are more than you currently need, but the price is right and they are very easy to tune with. You will get great part throttle driveability with them. You can't beat the prices found on Ebay for them, I've bought them off of there myself! Bob
