Ok then at that psi what 24's be pushing?

Hemifever said 24's should be fine. Depending on my heads I might be able to keep the stockers. I have 30's though I bought for my stang lol. I guess they would be major overkill though?

ford runs 39psi

dodge runs 49 psi

30# X (49/39) = 37.7 lbs. assuming those were ford injectors.

if the injectors were rated at 43.5 psi then it would be:

30# X (49/43.5) = 33.8lbs respectively.

The 30lb/hr @39psi for your stang will be about 33lb/hr @48psi, So not much bigger. But you do need to find out at what psi the injectors where rated at. Here's a link for the formulas to help figure it out http://www.rceng.com/technical.aspx. By the way you will have to have this info before ordering a tune. With out the proper info the tune can be way off.

Talked to a tuner buddy of mine today. He said as long as its tuned right you could put as high of an injector you want. With the right tune you won't use anymore gas then it needs so there for none of the "wasted gas" everyone on here talks about.

So I might end up using the 30's I already have

To a point. If you go to big the computer won't be able to pulse the injectors enough for it to idle. But he is right the tuner will be able to deal with the larger injectors. The 30 you have should be just fine on the new motor. I'll be running 48 lb injectors for my 408 lol.

Considering that 99% of 4x4's are actually 2 wheel drive...

Only when I'm going up the gas line do I put it in low.
