Default Will I run lean?

heads/cam with 28# injectors ('98 injectors). I have a 100 wet shot that will be going in. Will this max the injectors/fuel pump out? I believe it will be fine since its wet not dry but any input would be great. Thanks for your help

Mike

How much power do you make now? Since you have a heads/cam set up I would say that you're borderline on the fuel pump. I would upgrade it and play it safe. As far as you injectors it depends how much NA power you are making. As far as the injectors for the wet shot you are correct, they don't come into play.

that fuel pump is probably a little worn out. I'd go ahead and replace it.

I would replace the pump too. They are cheap enough and pretty easy to install.

I would recommend the Racetronix kit, but I’m a bit biased as we carry them. But in all honesty they are real easy to install and you don’t have to cut up your factory fuel bucket. The kit comes with everything you'll need. A standard Walbro pump will work too, but it isn’t a plug and play solution like the Racetronix set up.

You'll need a wiring harness and you'll have to cut up your fuel bucket. There are a few posts that go into the pluses and minuses:
