upgrading fuel injectors... need help


im upgrading my fuel system. i plan on gettin ev6 24 lbs. injectors and adaptors, steeda fuel rails, steeda fpr, and c&l trueflow intake pipe. has anybody used the steeda fuel rails? what do i need to fit it to my stock fuel lines and do they come with an attachment for the fuel pressure regulator? and with the intake pipe i just use the stock mass air sensor but would it be better to get a 93 cobra computer or just chip the a9l and call it a day?

The Steeda fuel rails will not work with the stock fuel hard-lines, so you'll need to change them out, along with the fuel fittings. Also, the fuel rails dont have provisions for a "rail" mounted fuel pressure regulator, so you'll need a remote style.

You can run the stock mass air with the C&L. No sense in getting a cobra ECU, the factory A9L is fine. Get a chip burned, and you'll be good to go.

I'm just curious, why are you upgrading your injectors and rails? The stock injectors will support 300hp and the stock rails will support 600hp. Upgrading these items will add zero horsepower.

+1 there is no point in upgrading the fuel rails unless you have some crazy modifications planned

I read between the lines. He stated 24lb injectors so we know he isn't planning much so the fuel rails are not needed.

I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. Your probably spot on though, as you nearly always are.
