Default Spraying the lil 4.3... got ???s

What PSI is the fuel on these engines?

Ill be installin a nitrous kit on my buddies S-10 with a 4.3 and im just tryin to find out what jets we are goin to be needing..

Startin with a 50 shot and prob go up to a 75 or possibly a 100... depends on what my research comes up with..

Thanks guys!!!!

I'd stick with the 50 unless he want's a really heavy paper-weight, or a cool coffee table.

The 4.3? What year? If it's CPI, it's something like 80-85 psi of fuel pressure. Also wouldn't do anything to it other than drive it if it's CPI. They are the biggest pieces of **** in regards to getting fuel into an engine. Ever. Two words: fire hazard.

That was the last year of CPI. 2004 and up had actual injectors.

Mcfarlnd: You used a wet kit, no?
