Hi guys thanks for checking in. I'm doing ok, this doctor seems to be very cautious because of the damage the recalled hip did. I don't go to see him for 6 weeks from the date of the operation. Only having trouble with strength in the leg. Just started walking around the block so its going pretty good now. I went in the garage to keep my sanity. Couldn't do anything but it felt good.

Thanks

I did pick up a new set of 42 lb Holley injectors . I had 50's and was told they were a little big.

40#'s will support 520 HP

42#'s will support 550 HP

50#'s will support 620 HP


Above is at the flywheel not rear wheel hp. and using 43 #'s of fuel pressure using .5 BSFC (Brake specific fuel consumption) and 80% max duty cycle.

As with all fuel injectors you can raise their fuel rate by raising the fuel pressure. 42's @ 43PSI will become 45.3's @ 50PSI and so on.

I have a Weldon fuel pump its good to 90 psi. I plan on boosting the pressure to get what I need.

I'd also run a vacuum referenced fuel regulator... big injectors are hard to control at idle if you don't use a referenced regulator.

With a referenced regulator - the fuel pressure will DROP accordingly at idle (high vacuum conditions) and that will help with the pulse width management.
