I've chosen the Ford 24lb. injectors. Good choice?

IMO 24lbs or 26lbs injectors for 430 RWHP is not enough (Heck thats about 500HP at the engine).
You will be at 100% and higher duty cycles. I wouldn't risk it to save a few dollars.

I would get a set of 30lbs injectors as they should still run at a high duty cycle, but that is actually good as long as they are not running too high.

Heck, a buddie of mine is REALLY maxing out his 22lbs injectors with 430+- HP at the engine (crank). They are totally stuck open when he guns it.

You can get a brand new set of 30lbs FMS injectors for $250.00... that's cheapo even.

I HAVE to add this though.. 150HP Dry shot on a 'stock' engine is like a countown timer before she blows.. And I mean a very SHORT dial timer..
Be carefull... :cheers:

Kivera, in Denver you can get away with that. Run it once down close to sea level and you would probably blow it up first pass. :thumbs:
