    Default A few questions on a 302 build

    I知 planning a build for my 87 Tbird. I already have an Explorer upper/lower intake, GT40 heads with TF spring kit installed. I知 purchasing B303 cam ( like the sound of these). I知 not looking for tons oh HP but just a fun car so questions... 1- Can I use 19lb injectors or will 24lb be better?(I already have some 19s on hand). 2- Will a 65mm TB be enough ( I already have this also) or will a larger TB be necessary? 3-Will an A9 computer work? If not what do you recommend? This will be my first build so bare with me as I知 sure more questions will follow. Also I will be swapping to a T5 transmission. I致e already installed an 8.8 with 3:55s. Thanks for any input

    19 pound injectors will be better than 24's. They will be running close to their limits, but will be better. The 19's will work better with a stock ECU. 24's will require a different MAF sensor, and won't work as good as stock parts. The 65mm throttle body will be fine as well. If you have access to a larger one it wouldn't hurt. An A9 computer may not be a good choice, because the calibration is tuned for a lighter car, and may be too aggressive with the timing for the heavier T-bird. That's how I see it.

    Glad to hear some stuff I already have will work. Any suggestion on what computer may work with this set up? I will have to do a mass conversion on this car also. The B cam will not work with an SD computer
