Re: Injector duty cycle ?'s Thanx Colonal.....so....if after this next head swap, I see my target RWHP of 42X and am shifting at 6600, I'm big time running out of fuel...yes?
Don't have access to ATAP so, IYHO should I be stepping up to an SVO 30# injector to be safe?
Thanx!
Mike

Re: Injector duty cycle ?'s Nah, it'll support 42x RWHP shifting at 6600. It won't be at %80, but it'll do it. People around here do that and more all the time with stock injectors.
Make it ~450 RWHP and I say step up to some SVO 30s (actually 36 lb/hr at LS1 fuel pressure) or better.
However, if you plan to run WOT for extended periods (Silver State Classic type of stuff) then I might look at upgrading at 425 RWHP or so.

Re: Injector duty cycle ?'s Hmmm......hoping to be in the 440+ range after the X1 w/the new 5.3's <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> but w/the T1, 42x is prolly more realistic <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> May just nut up and do the SVO 30's. Where are you guys that have upgraded getting them and how much are we looking at?

Re: Injector duty cycle ?'s "At 389 RWHP, in an auto, mine were at 90%"
And the strange thing is I'd be willing to bet you could pull 450 RWHP while maintaining correct mixture with those injectors, assuming fuel pressure is maintained. These injector pulse width calculations have always been kinda screwy to me. They just never make sense. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />
