Hi folk I am new here you can call me CP. I am lookin at building a 5.0 here is my foundation. Rebuild 5.0 w/bearings,rings,ect. Speed pro hypereutectic dish 8cc, ported factory heads, FR F303 .512/226 cam, Paxton Novi 1000 5-6psi. My question is will I have to alter with my computer? How do I upgrade the fuel system and still have a good dayliy driver with no problems starting in the mornings to go to work?

thanks alot!!

First get forged pistons, even with 5-6 psi, you will regret not getting them.
Second, it will be better to use a chip rather than a FMU. With a tuned EEC you will have decent mileage and no driveability issues.
As for the fuel system my suggestion would be 36 to 42lb injectors and a 255lph pump. I would go a bit big side on the injectors, just in case you get the bug for more boost.

The trick for a reliable daily would be the EEC tune.

I plan on the 255lph fuel pump, but i have heard that the bigger injectors do not ideal well, is that true?
