fuel injectors. because you need fuel to run an engine.

32lb @ 43.5 psi should get you in the ball park. go with 42lb at 43.5 psi to be safe

SVO 42Lb injectors. They allow for plenty of room to grow in case you decide any further power adding projects.

Quick question...do larger injectors result in less gas mileage? Or is it only really apparent at WOT?

42 they leave lots of cushion and are easy to tune and are cheap.

If you use a wet N20 kit, injectors will not be affected, but if you go dry the injectors will add the extra fuel. Wet kits add the extra fuel via a tap into the fuel rail.

Bigger injectors dont affect gas milage as long as the IFR tablein th PCM is changed to reflect the new flow rate of the new injectors. The only thing bigger injectors do is allow you the ability to run lots more HP since the big injectors are able to provide enough fuel.

The RCEngineeering web site has a lot of good information on selecting injectors. They also sell balanced sets. I bought a set for my 90 Vette when I had it, made a huge difference with hot starts which that year seemed to struggle with.

I went the same route as you...almost but get the FAST 36 injectors and be done with it. At 500 RWHP my injectors are at 75%! And they idle very nice.
