Optimum fuel Pressure for 24's

I have a stock 5.0 truck motor with speed dens. The motor was bought seperate. My question is that it came with reddish-orange fuel injectors, I assume these are 24lb and that stock was 19lb, I pretty sure this is right. I'd like to keep the 24's but was wondering if anyone has any experience with what a good starting fuel pressure would be with the larger injectors on a near stock motor. It runs quite rich now. Thank you for any input.

not so long ago, i assumed that the 30# injectors i bought off ebay were 30# injectors. after trying several different maf meters, i finally decided to read the part number off the injector and figured out they were 19# (red in color) injectors ford used on trucks in mexico.

knowing what you have is the first step. cheers, garsten

your stock efi will not support 24lb injectors. and adjusting the fuel pressure is not good idea. save them for a latter time

I plan for more upgrades. For now though, wont lowering the pressure be equivalent to a lower injector number. I've always found adjustable fuel press regulators a great way to get the peak performance from modifications.

Yes, less pressure means less flow, but it isn't a linear relationship. Here's a calculator I found online that relates pressure to flow (stock fuel pressure is around 3 bar or 44-45 psi):

Thank you for the help, I'm going to go ahead and find 19's. The MAP Sensor is also mia so hopefully replacing and hooking that up will help also.
