They have what is called an injector duty cycle. Just means they wont have to work hard to deliver enough fuel if they're too big.Quote:

It gets technical but just because you have a larger fuel pump doesn't mean you are getting enough fuel. If the injectors aren't big enough to deliver the extra fuel needed, then a Walbro is useless. The opposite applies as well regarding larger injectors and too small of a pump. The injector duty cycle (IDC) mentioned above, is basically the capacity of your injectors. Once you get close to the 85%-90% mark, it's time to upgrade the fuel system. For example, the 24# may be at 90%, 36# may be at 60% and the 42# and 45% (not real percentages, made them up for arguments sake). All would work but the stockers are maxed, the 36# are fine and the 42# give you room to grow. The tuner is who controls the IDC and how much fuel is commanded.
Widebands are a nice tool to make sure you aren't running lean.
Thats sounds like a good plan. Should I be able to safely run the stock injectors until I can get it tuned with the larger injectors?Quote:

Oh and can some one point me to the right walboro 255lph pump? I have having trouble finding the exact one that I need for my in-tank set up.
Thanks for all the help so far guys! I have learned a lot!

I am having trouble finding a thread pertaining to the fule pump swap. Does anybody make a direct swap kit? or have a link to the thread about this modification to the "bucket"?
I have decided to run my ls6 cam with a little custom grind to make it a 212/218 duration. I was looking into some LS6 injectors which are supposed to be 28.5 # injectors which seemed to make sense for this build since its using the LS6 heads and basically an LS6 cam. Anyone have any input on this? and the stock injectors are supposed to be 24# injectors, is this at 3 or 4 bar?
