Hey Guys/Gals...

I'm building a  mega-383 for my '91 6-speed convertible.  It's going to be running a 58mm throttle body on a TPIS Mini-Ram intake along with totally reworked stock heads and a ProCharger  D1 supercharger.   The cam was custom ground for the engine but is basically a nitrous grind, which was recommended by several different cam manufacturers.  My question is simple: what rating fuel injectors should I be installing on this engine.  All the sizing worksheets I've found on the Internet suggest 48-50 lbs/hr.  Does this sound right?  I know absolutely *nothing* about sizing fuel injectors, so any help will be greatly appreciated!  Also, how about a spark plug heat range recommendation.

Thanks a million!

The rating you post sounds right to me. What about your fuel pump, tho? Are you planning on replacing it? You may need to in order to keep the supply of fuel going to the infectors at a safe volume. You certainly don't wanna lean the engine out on a hard run due to a weak, or under-capacity pump.
