While doing a fuel injection swap using the 2000 Explorer 5.0 which uses 65psi fuel pressure and 17 pound injectors i had questions if it could as much power as the 19 pound injector systems.
I had traditionally used the mustang/96-98 explorer system that uses 19 pound injectors and 40 psi fuel pressure and I had people question if my 17 pound injectors on the newer 65 psi system could feed my 351 I put it on.
I found a fuel injector calculator and apparently the 17 pound injector with higher fuel pressure system can handle significantly more hp.
19 pound injectors with 40 PSI can handle 265hp.
17 pound injector with 65 psi can handle 300hp.
Just sharing what I learned today.
