Default Need help adjusting 32lb injectors to run bigger

Mods in sig
Quick run down lt1 355, cc306, afr 195cc heads..... Currently have 24lb injectors at 100% duty cycle running super lean at WOT. I have an adjustable FPR and just picked up some 32lb accel injectors for free, question is "can I make them operate like 36's and is it safe to bump the pressure up high enough to accomplish this.

Have you asked your tuner? Is he aware you have an adjustable FPR?

I mentioned it to him yesterday and he said he didn't think it would be wise to raise the fuel pressure. He said "just buy bigger injectors". I figure why buy more injectors when I can squeeze what I need out of the the ones I have using the adjustable FPR

He is right more than likely. Also you don't need bigger than 32# for a heads/cam car from what I've seen. Have you put it on the dyno yet? I assume he is sending you a tune spec'd for 32#'s? I'd let him tune it for 32# and leave your FPS at stock. Just my .02

No dyno yet. I was hoping for at least 420 to the wheels with the mods and amount of cash dumped into the vehichle. Will 32lb'ers support that amount of horsepower?

Go to accel site they usually list the output of an injector with the corresponding pressure.

Do a little math and bump up the pressure to achieve your desired output...
