i have a 396LT1 that has run 10.60's @128. i run a 36lb. injector right now do you think i would benefit from a 42lb? thanks

 

All motor, or with a power adder? Estimated flywheel HP?

 

RC Engineering has some good calculators as well as info. Check them out.

HTH,


Steve.

 

i want to be able to spray a max of 200hp wet kit.

 

Keep in mind that a wet kit doesn't use the injectors for fueling, so you're set if your current injectors are getting the job done N/A.

 

This should be discussed in an engine tech forum. Transferring, thanks.

 

What is your A/F and injector duty cycle?
If they are both good then there is no benifit form going to a bigger injector other then the fact you will have to retune. I have seen
injector debates on both sides and have come to the opinion that as long as te duty cycle is ok and the A/F is where you want it leave it alone.

 

You should be fine with the 36 pounders. Dont want to run too rich.. My .02

 

Let me make sure I understand your question... you have a 396 that has run 10.6@128 on straight motor. That would indicate that you are making over 600HP. Not sure how you could do that on a 36# injector, unless you are driving them close to 100% duty cycle. In that case, the 42's would be of benefit, if only to get the DC down to a more reasonable level, and extend the life of the injectors.


You don't "run too rich" with larger injectors, if you enter ther correct flow rate and offsets in the PCM.
