Hey guys, I just got everything ordered up for a bunch of stuff I am doing to my 88 Mustang GT 5spd and thought I should see if I am missing anything or if you guys have an suggestions. What I have ordered up is:
- Trick Flow engine kit (heads, cam, intake...)
- 255lph fuel pump (wondering if maybe I should go smaller, I may be doing a supercharger down the road)
- 24lb injectors
- C&L 76mm MAF
- all my mass air conversion stuff
- new lifters
- Accufab 70mm TB
I am pretty sure that is everything, one of the questions I have is will having that fuel pump cause any problems before I get the supercharger? Also will a cold air intake that is mounted inside the fender well cause any calibration problems with the C&L MAF sensor? If there is anything with this combo that seems wrong to you guys or if I am forgetting a part that I should have please let me know, I have been doing my homework but I am still pretty new at this. Thanks in advance for the help.

Fuel pump should be fine as long as you also get an adjustible fuel pressure regulator. and the CAI should work fine also. I bet it runs awsome when its together, sounds like a good combo.

make sure you get a calibrated MAF sensor for the 24lb injectors if you havn't done so yet. you wont be able to run with 24lb injectors with the stock MAF sensor so get one made for 24lb injectors.
with the type of Hp your going to be puting out i would have went with 30lb injectors i had to chang my 24out to 30's might want to loook in to that
I looked into this problem and found that yes with stock fuel pressure (39.6psi) I would need 30lb injectors to run around 350hp at the crank which is what I think I should be close too. This is taking into consideration a 80% duty cycle on the injectors. But with the adjustable fuel pressure regulator that I am getting I can bump up the pressure to 60psi and get the same amount of fuel from the 24's as I would the 30's. I got this information from http://www.50tech.com/viewtopic.php?p=51088 . Does anyone think there is any problem with this theory? Any reason why this may or may not work this way?
