sounds like you need to get a tune before you blow that engine.

I have the whipple charger with the aux injectors and the whipple injection box....42lb injectors should help I think. But what do I do with the injection box?

SHUT IT DOWN!!!


thats a recipe for a blown motor.

you need to be low-mid 11's AFR and 20* or less timing to start with. please be careful.

Get rid of those aux. injectors and whatever else that has to do with it, inj. box, etc.. throw it away. Get some 42lb injectors and a good tune should get you going. I have never heard anything positive about using that fuel setup that Whipple gives you.

Wow, those are right at the numbers for a tuned 5.3. That sucks, this is a good example that a improperly tuned and equipped setup can lead to wasted cash and a blown motor with no power really quick. Get that thing running right man, I would hate to see you burn through an engine for no reason.
