4.9l injector upgrade

4.9l injector upgrade
On my 95 4.9l, I have changed out my 12# injectors with 19# injectors. I also change the pressure reg to an adjustible. I also have tried a 5.0l regulator as well. I can not seem to get the pressure low enogh. It runs really rich. When you turn the key on I get 40 psi but when I start it I get 80+PSI. What all do I need to do to complete this mod? Any help?

I'm pretty sure your motor should have 19lb injectors(orange top) and the fuel pressure should be 50psi without vacuum and engine running. There really is no need for an adjustable regulator on this motor... or larger than stock injectors either, but if you cannot adjust the pressure down that much then you have an obstruction in the fuel system.. kinked return line or clogged check valve in the fuel deliver module inside the tank.

I meant to expand on the injector thing. You can't just install larger injectors and expect it to run right.. especially with an SD setup, the computer is programmed around the stock injectors and anything else will mess up the calculations and make it run badly. With MAF you can utilize larger injectors with a matched MAF meter but this isn't perfect either and the further you go from stock the worse the results.
