When you increase boost above 14 psi research has found that the factory fuel injector become inadequate. The fuel injector flow must be matched to the airflow requirements of the engine over the entire rpm operating range. The injectors must be able to supply a large amount of fuel at wide-open throttle to prevent high rpm lean out,


i will upgrade the pumps once i see my numbers from the dyno for the apten. Our stock ones are good till around 16psi,
I understand but arnt some guys running a kb at like 18lbs on stock injectors?

measuring horsepower is not cumulative like that.

i wouldn't be surprised,

if i had a built bottom end i wouldn't have bothered

it was a precautionary move for me, we all know what happens with these motors when you run lean,

i have noticed a big differance in the higher rpms since replacing them

It's not typicaly simple math - "mods" arent always cumulative. With full exhaust, the efan and ported s/c you might be closer to 470. It's not just straight addition.

actually (not to start a pissing match lol) when mods are combined with other mods, they typically increase the combined numbers.....example...with just a chip your HP may increase by 20. But add a cool air kit (which may add 15 alone) and your total HP may increase by 40.....you see everything works off of each individual component....change one and they all will change.

Disagree, no way you will hit 500 rwhp with a 4# lower and stock upper. i have had ALOT of trucks on the dyno and that, in my experience will not be possible. Sorry, agree with you, dont want a pissin match, but if your tuner manipulates the dyno correction you WILL see 500 RWHP, but it will not be a realistic number.
