Stock or for your kit? If you have 90lbs injectors at that low of pressure and boost the pressure even 5psi it will make a huge increase in fuel flow

That's stock. They recommend 20 psi with this kit at idle with the 1:1 increase

That would be the program I was looking at but now that I'm seeing the other aftermarket efi systems on boosted vehicles, I'm starting to look into those as 8 injectors are better

Having a good weekend mark?? Lol

Ya for sure you can go anything you want with the AEM system. It's a big engine to supply with fuel under boost by just 2 injectors

yep I better get a new tire and roll those rear quarters as far as possible. the front is fine but the rears need more clearance. at least I only destroyed one tire and made it back safely. those roads are a nightmare.

I don't think rolling the fenders is gonna help when your tires stick out of the body

o believe me it will. i dont think you understand how they move when being compressed. i only hacked out 1/4 of a inch on the driver side tire. thats because i had previously pounded out the pass side a couple years ago. so the pass side was untouched. so now i need to pound out the driver side. the wheel when being compressed does not go straight up. it goes up in a angle. if it wasnt for that ridge of metal going to the inside of the car in the wheel well. the driver side would have been fine too. that ridge of metal is what i have pound up into wheel well on the pass side. thus it has remained untouched. this is why they roll quarter panels kevin. surely im not the first nor will i be the last to filling the wheel gap.

Mark, you should just get some fender flares and bolt them on the rear. Then cut out the excess metal from the rear fenders that you don't need lol

If rolling the other quarter panel doesn't suffice, I'd wager that the adapters could be machined down a little bit...

yeah for 9am doctors appointments ~ which means that my 40 minute drive to work necessitates me sleeping in, and having a nice relaxing morning...

Come to think of it, this would be a sly way to semi-regularly sleep in.
Too bad I'm too honest to do that.

i think at that time i would do as kevin suggested. that would be to convert to lnf axles and hubs and get them drilled for 114 bolt pattern. also run a half inch spacer on the rear.

That'll suck becaue you just bought hubs again but now that you have power it seems to be the way to go.
