I am running 42s on my 406, but my ECM allows me to set the size of injectors and the computer and wideband does the rest. Engine runs smooth. I was going to install a procharger, but changed my mind. I really think 36s would be plenty for my setup.

Yes I have a wideband installed as well.....does anyone have a set of instructions for the walboro 255pump install ....do I need a kit with these wires etc.? Will it plug into factory wiring or do I need to redo the wiring? I googled it and looks like there are a few kits. Not sure exactly what I would need...and do I now need to run a different power source if I was to get the Walboro pump? Some of the pics/kits I see when I do a search on them get a little confusing haha.
thanks

I did not upgrade the wiring on my 85. Replacing the fuel pump is pretty straight forward. The Racetronix kit has everything you need and the instructions. You do need to use the wiring adapter shipped with the kit. The whole job shouldn't take more than an hour.
You can always upgrade the wiring later if you think it really needs it.

Is this the pump you got?.... I looked at the link posted earlier and after talking to them they said the one for $176 included the wiring harness which I do not need necessarily? This link is everything except the harness.
thanks

Have you budgeted for a new transmission and rear end? My stock transmission didn't last long after the 396 went in. If you put sticky tires on the rear end will go as well. I look at my street tires as the fusible link that protects the rear gears. A 2800 to 3000 converter should go well with the engine. It's only money.

FWIW my tuner still has my car, but it made 462hp on e85 60lb injectors and the racetronix kit with the 255 pump. It has no problem keeping up.
Keep in mind e85 needs about 30 percent more fuel then gas for the same output.
