You shouldn't need more then an svt fuel pump; you can always add a BAP later. It wouldn't be the end of the world to oversize injectors; I dont have any real experience on the subject but I've heard it can be tougher to get a good idle and can hinder low rpm performance, and #60's should support 300fwhp. Pretty sure I saw a set in the classifieds here or on FF for $150 too.

I havent looked at the prices but if you can up-size for cheap then I can see that justification.

I found a place I can get 83# for under $200. But I am trying to get my buddy to come off his 90 something pounders for cheap. Yeah I know the bigger I go, the tougher it is to tune. Thats why I didn't get the 160# ones that any auto parts place can get for $40 a piece.

Chris, I can probably head out there after work. Around 3:30-4. Let me know where.

Jeremy, I have that wideband with me.

Then again, if you could help me weld something I'd appreciate it. My 110 welder won't be strong enough. If so maybe I could meet up another day because I'd have to grab it from the house and I wouldn't want to drive back through Evansville.

I could probably help you weld something up depending on what it is... I start a new job tomorrow and will be getting off at 430... We can meed up at some point either way on the cyl. head... however if you are coming up here, we'll wait till then.

BTW... My welder is a 110 also... Ive got a gasless machine and a gas machine... both of which can handle a little more then 1/8" without issue... can do thicker materials but would probably require a bit of preheating

PM me and let me know what your needing help with.

Don't worry about the welding then. I need to weld on some heims to some .250 wall tube for the B2's steering. I can't have any weak welds on there.

Lol. Thats a project I don't need to start now. The heims would put me behind on the motor build.

And I didn't get a head. There wasn't a decent one there. Besides a good ZX2 head which I would get, if I could find a VCT delete kit for it. There is no one around that makes them anymore.
