forged just gives you a little more room for error.


Flow matched injectors flow close to the same, but they may be one that puts outa hair more fuel then the others.

Interesting, so how do ya go bout changin firing order? Sounds complicated. Can it be done thru stock PCM using HPT or say, EFI? Or is a FAST or similiar $$$ setup needed?



Now, that's what I thought too.
They are flow matched to within 1-2% so you will always get one flowing slightly more than the others.

That is what I did except I did not know about the #5 so I just went from the fattest at #7, then #8, then #5 etc from back to front starting at #7.

Not sure about the crossover tube my heads are stock and have never been removed, but i don't remember seeing any back there when i did my trans swap

The pistons I'm getting are wiesco 5.3s there not the coated ones with the smaller ring..... They should be able to handle more heat right? Has anyone burned up a number 7 forged piston?
When you are ready to get some 60lb injectors let me know.

I don't recall hearing about a radix/tvs engine burning up #7,
does that indicate it is intake related
or anyone looked at a radix/tvs supplied tune to see if fuel for #7 is different.

At our fuel pressure(58 PSI) the 60's flow +73 lbs/hr so they would be good.

I think the flex fuel uses EV6 injectors but I have some of those too up to 72 lbs/hr at 43.5 PSI(3 bar).
