Upgrading injectors for SC apps
Im planning on doing a vortech supercharger this month. I plan on upgrading to 8.1 injectors. Will there be any differences in the FMU operation ( do I even need to install it)?? Im having it custom tuned for the injectors. Does the FMU do more than just increase the fuel pressure through the stock injectors??? Would it hurt to install it anyways??? Im having a friend with a great deal of knowledge help, but Id like to have a better idea beforehand. He's more interested in nitrous apps so Im not sure he would know the answer to this. I also plan on doing an alk injection kit a few months later.

If you get it tuned for those injectors, then the fmu will just make it way rich.

I had a friend with a sc on his truck and he ran around 7 psi with 32# in his truck. With edit on it he was running like 120% duty on them though. He went with 42# after he got a little more money.

You really should think about getting a datalogging program like efilive to keep an eye on Knock, injector pulsewidth, and 02 sensors.

Let me get this straight. Dont need the FMU, but I do need to install the inline fuel pump. I should go about installing it as per the instructions or will it need to be set up differently???
