Default What size injectors?

What size injectors do i need to get for my truck? my truck is flex fuel with the bigger pump and injectors(35lbs or so) i'll be installing an sts kit with a t60(kbracings old kit). I want to run some 12's. i'll be running my 212/218 cam until i can recoop and buy a good turbo cam. Will 50lbers do? What about 44s. What if i decide to run some meth? Thanks for helpin a newb

i think some 42s( 8.1L marine) with meth would work up to about 8psi. much over that and i think some 60s will be needed

where are you gettin 50s at anyways?

should be good for a few more psi, probably enough to pop the 5.3L without ALOT of meth or over work the 60-1 turbo

never heard of 50s unless they were some ford SVO injectors or something, i personally would stick with mototron, racetronix, or GM injectors; something that you KNOW works on our trucks and are rated correctly. your still runnin the truck intake right? plan on swapping to a car style intake? the 60 lb./hr injectors require car style injector pigtails anyways...

Are you planning on running E85? If your truck har 35lb injectors, they'll support a good amount of power. I have 39lb injecors in mine and they will be good to 500+whp.

Don't know if you know this or not, but the FF injectors are different pigtail from normal truck injectors so your going to have to change the pigtails anyway. If your going to change injectors, might as well just go with some spacers and 60's so you have room to grow.
