How about approximate hp limits of some of the stock components on V6 f-bodies when using forced induction (and some common upgrades).

For example on the 3800

stock: 22 lb/hr injectors ~211 hp
upgrade#1: 24 lb/hr injectors ~230 hp
upgrade#2: 36 lb/hr injectors ~345 hp(needs tuning)
the only proplbem with this is..... every car is differnet and most of the nubers you posted are not right

330 has been done on stock injectors, no it wasn't making max power there but it was done

also some have more then 36# i have 57# and linx has 60#

</font>[/QUOTE]~ = approximately

22 lb/hr = 211 hp was for 80% duty cycle

And yes, depending on your A/F etc. the 36 lb/hr may be good for 450+ hp before they reach 100% duty cycle, but what I was really trying to get at is in what order you should upgrade things based on which stock parts will fail you first as you make more hp.


and from you
"if you need big injectors i know were you can get 65#hour ones that work with our cars....... i have 57#hour and the runs rich as hell with out my turbo and the tuners didn't tune it right."

I'm not sure if the #57 lb/hr are going to be a common upgrade, but let's say Mototron 60 lb/hr injectors provide good A/F at idle and cruise as well at WOT and turn out to be a common upgrade. Easy enough to list them as upgrade #3 good for 575+ hp

Yeah, I was going to say, I dynoed around 235 (75 shot) with the stock injectors on the juice at about 90%, so that seems rather conservative to me. The way we figured, 5lbs of boost is roughly equivalent to a 75-100 shot, so the stock ones should be okay up to that (again, every car runs different). You did get the most common injector upgrade IMHO of 38#.

BTW, stock = 19 lb per hour injectors [img]smile.gif[/img]

Still stock 19 lb rated injectors here ;)
