Svo 42# Or ??????. Please Help
Svo 42# Or ??????. Please Help I am building a 6.0 all forged bottom end and some very nice heads. it is gonna be a nitrous motor prolly around a 150 or 200 shot. What are the best injectors to go with and what fuel pressure whould I be running? thanks in advance to all that can help me.
What kind of nitrous system are you plannign on running? If you're gonna run a wet kit with a standalone, you're fuel system won't need anywhere near the capacity. If it's a wet kit running off teh main tank, I'd think 60 psi would be good. Ford green top 42's are good for quite a bit of power, unless you're planning on running a 200 dry shot I think you'd be fine, if it is a 200 dry shot you are planning on running, you may want to think about going a little bigger.... just to be safe. Just make sure you fuel pump is up to the task.
yes they will be fine.. just make sure you have a good fuel pump that will keep up when you hit the nitrous. A racetronix kit with the hotwire setup would probably be a good move.. you can always add a boostapump to the hotwire setup later if you need a little more.

i went with the SVO 42's for the 403 that is going in my car. i wanted to be able to spray 125 shot later on. since i have a 03-04 Z06 which is limited to a boost a pump as the only upgrade i wanted to make sure i had enough injector. i was told that it would be easier to trim out fuel than to add and max the injector out. i could have got by with SVO 30# NA only but i think those would have been on the edge of max out with just motor.
I put 42 lb ford green tops on my 402, and will be spraying at least a 125 hit on it thru a NOS wet plate kit next year. I'm running a racetronix kit, and I do plan to put a fuel pressure guage in teh car to monitor the pressure, if I see any dip at teh hit I will be adding a boostapump to the hotwire immediately.. I may just add it to be safe when teh kit goes on the car.
how much does the boost-a -pumps actually help ? i've been debating what i'll need to change when i get my 408 up and going and want to spray a 150 shot and hopefully break the 650 rw goal i have set but i don't want to add a stand alone but i think the single 255 racetronix p-n-p may be maxed at that level.i know a boost-a pump is supposed to help but how much ?

Supposedly, according to racetronix, the pump is supposed to be good for 600 rwhp, and with a boostapump, it's supposed to be good for 700 rwhp.
I guess alot of it has to do with the car.. if you're looking for 650 rwhp thru a M6 setup, then I think with a boostapump it will be fine, if you're looking for 650 rwhp thru an unlocked auto.. then no it's not enough.

Believe me.. if I see a fuel pressure dip fo say more then 1 to 2 psi.. I'll be adding that boostapump.. especially if I start spraying any serious amount thru the place kit. If that doesn't solve it... I'll be going strait to a standalone.
Forget the 42's, bite the bullett and go for the 60's, not for reliability but for room to grow. Im stuck with my 42's and now I need 60's. I hate paying for the same thing twice. Just my 02. I've got a pro-charger and no more boost until I purchase some 60's sniff, sniff.
