There's no way to tell from that bottom end kit what kind of horsepower you'll be generating. You'd need that to size injectors... So come up with the HP number, then it'll be easy.

You'll be fine with 30lb injector's. Unless you plan on running a blower. Other than that 30 will be fine

Thumbs up

I agree with 30#.

What is your cam. Compression.

Is that stroker kit internally balanced.

Why are you looking at lower compression ratio than stock?

i was told by someone that 11:1 is too high for pump gas???
what octane would i need for 11:1?
would there be a horsepower difference between 10:1 and 11:1?

uhhh yea, like every point of compression is like 3hp. SO from 10:1 to 11:1 that's like a 30HP difference.

will i need a new fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator if i put 30# injectors on?
NO, fuel pressure regulator's are a waste of money and will do NOTHING for you. It would be a nice idea to get a better fuel pump, but it's nothing you will need until you start throwing power adder's on there etc

No, your stock one is fine for that.

I have a 396 stroker that was built by Modern Musclecar with 10.5 or 11.0:1 compression and they put in 30# injectors and Edelbrock 58mm TB. It is also set up for a 200# NOx shot, so I doubt they'd put in injectors that wouldn't be able to handle the increased fuel demand. I don't know if I have a larger fuel pump in it, but I have a fuel pressure gauge and it reads 40# consistently.
I run on Mobil Premium gas (93 Octane) with no knock retard and the car pulls like a freight train.

For a 93 YOU CAN RUN A FPR. It's the 94's and up that don't respond to a afpr. That's a fact not a myth.
