At what PSI do you reccomend changing to 550 injectors and a walbro pump? I just don't want to run rich, although it is head and tails above running lean!

need lex afm. will run very rich... prolly not at all. without the lex afm you will increase fuel by ~25% and will run very rich without the additional airflow provided by the lex.

Lex afm= 25% bigger than stock afm
500's= 25% bigger than 440's.
Yes you need a a lex afm if your using 550's..Unless you go the speed density route.

If you are already at 11-12 lbs of boost, you are sitting just under fuel cut. So you will need to go LEX AFM, 550s, and walbro.

at what point in all of this do you need to get a wideband? I thought as soon as you go 550's you need wideband and afpr.


Technically you dont need eathier! The point of a wide band, 1: is tuning, 2: to monitor you A/F reading... So you dont blow your car up. As far as the AFPR thats to adjust your fuel pressure. Once again tuning. With the bigger injectors its a good idea to do get both wideband and afpr.

But see sense your tricking your ecu and both mods allows 25% more air and fuel therefore its allready tuned to the correct amount of air/fuel. Your stock FPR shouldnt have any problems.
