Hey guys, just picked up a 2.8 LC Kenne Bell and am tracking down supporting mods. Already picked up a BAP, but need some input on injectors and MAF. The KB will come with a 3.5" pulley for the street but will be swapping it out for a 3.25", maybe even a 3" for track use.

I would like to get 80# injectors but have been told that is overkill and will affect my car's drivability from a dead stop when I am driving around with the 3.5" pulley. I know the tune will have a lot to do with how it drives but is it harder to dial in a tune with larger injectors for what I am looking to do? So my question is 60# or 80# injectors knowing that I will be swapping pullies depending on street or track?

Also, is a ba2600 MAF sufficient for my set up? Or should I be looking at another MAF? Not sure if this is a silly question, but will I be able to tune a car with the sct MAF with a diablosport tuner?

Current mods on the car right now are bassani catted x pipe, borla stingers, 26 spline conversion w/ rxt twin disc, subframe connectors, bf IRS brace. I have a JLT CAI, head cooling mod, 170* t-stat and oil catch cans going on over the winter with the KB. Did I miss something? I know the rear will need some help soon. All input is welcomed. Thanks!

I used 80Lb injectors for a few years on my old ported eaton car, worked just like stock. I would get MAF suggestion from whoever is going to tune it. What type of Fuel do you plan to use? What are your power goals?
