what injectors do i need

ok, im tossing around an idea here. i have a lt1, 11:1 compression ratio. if i go with a wet or direct pott system running anywhere from a 100-300 shot, what size injectors would i need. also what would be the best way to go. probally direct port, i would think.

With a wet or direct port system, you're adding fuel in yourself with the nitrous system, not thru the injectors.

right, but i wasnt sure if i need to upgrade the injectors anyway. so youre saying the ones i have now will be fine. basically the injectors dont matter, because the nitrous system gets it own fuel. ok.

to get the proper size injectors you need to

take rwhp*.5/8 or rwhp*.5/#of cylinders


exp 550rwhp*.5/8cyls you will need 34.375lb/hr injectors which means you will have to get 36lb/hr injectors

That would make sense if he were expecting his injectors to supply 550hp of power, but he's not. He's feeding fuel in through the nitrous system. Unless something's wrong with the current injectors, they should be fine.

the motors gonna be making 450-500hp N/A with 42lb injectors. hopefully at least. my goal for the motor is 500+ horse. i want to do it N/A but if i cant make it, i dont want to have to tear down the whole thing rebuild it for a supercharger. so the squeeze will be my only option.
