yea, Ill have to fab something up.

So I just got back home from a drive/tuning session. The new power is awesome. But I run out of injector at 4770 rpm and 130 kpa. about 5psi. also noticed that I do not get into boost with anything under 40%. but Im showing 88-92 kpa which is about atmosphere here. So I need to get those 65# injectors in asap. For the spacers that I have. They go between the injector and the intake. Will that cause an issue with the spray pattern or should I get some that mount on top?

oh... scarred the crap out of me, forgot you didn't have the FAST's in there yet. Was trying to comprehend how you ran out of injector at 4770 RPM LOL...


Hope those connectors show up quickly for ya.


Not sure on the spacer.

yea. still rocking the 42#. I think I should of gotten 80s though.
heres a 45% throttle to about 55mph.

I can still get up to about 75% throttle and be good. I know at 65% itll get into boost and at 4k+ it PULLS lol

Instead of buying new pigtails, couldnt I just cut the connector off the adaptors that didnt work. There is about 6" of wire so its plenty for me to solder.

If I'm understanding your question, yes you sure can!

ok, What about the spacers then. Can they be on the bottom or do they have to be on the top.

and the adaptors only have about 3" of wire. Should still be enough.

I would think that would change the spray pattern of the injector wouldn't it??

I'm having a hard time understanding why you can't use the spacers above the injectors.
