Depends if you want to max out the duty cycle with 42s, they now say 420rwhp is the limit for 42s, I have done 566rwhp with 42s

Jon, run 60s. Seen way too many HCI s-trim setups get cut short because the duty cycles were maxed with 42s. As for a 351w, You should expect the same thing. Better to be safe then sorry.

Lol, times have changed but for the better, 30lb and 36lb injectors were used for HCI and S-trim setups back in the day, even a Saleen S351 with a S-trim came with 42lb injectors. I don't see a point in getting bigger than 50lb injectors if you don't upgrade the fuel lines.

i remember that as well lee, but every tuner i talk to gets unhappy, i want a happy tuner thats feels gd about doing his job instead of bein a sour puss pushing me out th edoor. my fuel lines are upgraded, but only have one 255 in tank pump, and the vortech inline 255 pump as well, im hearing those only can support the 42,s as well, and then told they will be peaked on 50,s. im thinking 50,s would be ok then?

I believe a T-Rex pump is rated less than 255, that's why I used an universal 255 inline
