With my intake reaching 85% completion, its time to work on that last 15%.
In that 15% is injector placement, injector sizing, and various other items.
My goal is kinda arbitrary, but I figure double the flywheel HP of the original engine at the wheels is worth shooting for? Means 330HP at the wheels, this is behind a Ford E4OD trans. This video has an EFI system, cam, headers and an original style head and is hitting 270HP at the crank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSTxCfuhIAk so I figure that with a much better flowing head I should be able to get there.
Based on various flow calculators that I've played with, at 80% duty cycle and ~44psi it appears that I want ~38lbs/hr? Does that sound accurate?

Lastly, my neighbor was redoing the engine on an early 2000s Tahoe, it came with new injectors and he only had to return a long block and manifolds. As they weren't called out on his return sheet I snagged the injectors from it. From some light googling they appear to be ~33lbs/hr? They won't meet my goal HP, but I figure they'd be a decent starting point for free.
I have some aluminum roundstock ready to be chucked up in my lathe, is it worth cutting injector bungs for this style injector, or should I look for another common injector?
