Hhhmm.....is running bigger injectors anything like stepping up to a bigger carburetor?
I know that's one of the biggest mistakes in the hot rod world....people will bolt on a bigger carburetor on an engine that doesn't need it....when in fact a smaller one would have worked better.
I've had some people here tell me I'd be maxing out my #36 blue tops and that I needed to step up to a bigger injector with the TE44 I'm running. Yet I read that people have ran mid 11's with blue tops.
Depends on how aggressive the timing is and how much boost you plan to run with certain octane fuel.
Carb flows too much, you have to rejet it or realize its too big, injectors flow too much, you turn the boost up to compensate for the richness, or turn down the fuel pressure, or use tweaks chip and pull WOT fueling.
Now, te44 and 36#ers will work great as long as your running meth or racegas if you plan to run past 20psi (my dads car has ta49 and 36# bluetops, 23psi of boost and 24° of timing with meth.)
There just is not enough fuel to flow thru the injectors at 100% duty cycle if you want to try and run 20psi on pump gas and good amount of timing without meth. This is where people are telling you that your running too small of injectors.
If you bumped up the injector size, you will have the capability to feed it more fuel and can tune the car to make more power than the smaller injectors, and you will have room to grow if you decide to get a larger turbo in the future.
Timeslips for my white car are with 009's, they work great, but i cant squeeze any more fuel out of them (nor horsepower) and the car has hit the horsepower wall. Ive sold the TA-61 turbo, pulled the 009s and bought 1200.00 worth of 60# injectors last week for my cars. Why? That way i never run out of injector no matter what combo i decide to go with.
60# are on sale for 240.00 a set of 6 , should be good enough for 66, 67bb, and 70 turbos for my cars.
