FAST injectors...pulse width?

[J-440]

I have a 440na with a 2000cfm throttle body with 83lb. injectors and 8.5 comp ratio. I realize this is overkill for a NA motor but the blower will be going on in a few months but I want to drive the car now!! An EFI tuner has informed me that with the current setup I will destroy the motor because of excessive fuel wash. Ok I agree...overkill. But with the adjustability with the FAST XFI can't I tune the pulse width of the injectors to make the car run?

Does your FI system come with a star up tune? It should. I would like to find out some of this info also since I am running a bigblock with a procharger, that more then likely I will be converting to FI.

Yes there are about 25 different settings for different engine types that are pre-programmed into the system. I found my closest one and tweeked it a little. Haven't gotten the car running yet because of the above concerns.

there is a minimum amount of time (pulsewidth) that it takes an injector to open/close. If an injector is too large it can cause idle issues as you lose the resolution when you try to get the pulsewidth numbers too small to get the proper a/f. In other words, you can only get the pulsewidth so low.

With that said, I've run bigger injectors than that without issue at idle or anywhere else. Although they were forced induction setups, idle is the problem a large injector usually has the most problem with, and a naturally aspirated or forced induction setup are basically the same there and mine had zero issues. Make sure you boost reference the regulator, it will help at idle by dropping the fuel pressure a bit with the vacuum line installed. My last setup was 75# injectors on a small block with a stock camshaft, idling at 650 rpm and 18" of vacuum. Ran perfect.

Thanks for the help guys. FAST just told me that the injectors are just way too big and no matter how low I set the pulse width, too much fuel wash will occur. Not a good thing. Ah well, I'll just wait a few more months until the blower arrives.

What's the projected output? 83's will handle over 800hp.
Are you running batch or sequential?
