IT RUNS!!! at least idles

I got the car to run, I just have a very loud whistle wine somewhere around my fuel rail--adj fuel regulator? I do not have a gauge attached to it yet so I have no idea what it is set at, maybe the noise could be my #2 injector, the pinnle cap was cracked and I put it in knowing that I was going to change them when I get my computer done, any ideas anyone? The car sounds good, just sounds like it is a turbo/supercharged car!

lower intake to cylinder head gasket off location??

I doubt that it is the pintle cap.

Actually Pete, that is where the problem is--nice vacuum leak there only on that particular injector, now the question is which injector do I go with now. I have the brown tips in there right now===35s or 36s, I am not sure. I am going to get a new chip burned after I get it running ok so I am open to any suggestions...My mods in short are bored .30 over, very ported head, all the race junk inside with the pistons. rods, schneider cam with I think .460 lift, t3/t4 turbo @20 psi, kirban adj, 255 walbro, 40bob log header, gutted upper, ported lower, 65 mm throttle body...and a little more but that is the short list. So the question is since I cannot take it on the dyno yet, what do you guys think I should go with for injectors?

With your list of mods I really think you should go with 55pph injectors. It is really kind of hard to go too big with injectors as long as you have a means of comntrolling them. The 55's will give you some room to grow. They will support around 350rwhp. I really wouldn't put them in till you can get the chip burned on the dyno for them.

I agree with Pete in it sounds like a vac leak at the head to lower intake. If you want to eliminate the broken injector as the culprit of the sound then swap locations of that injector with number 4 and see if the sound follows it. Does it leak fuel? If not you may be alright till you get on the dyno and get the bigger injectors. If you want to be safe pick up a used set of 35's. Usually go for around $40 plus shipping.

NAPA has a kit for injectors that contains new O-rings and a pintle cap. Not that expensive, and probably well worth it if you are going to keep the stock injectors in there for any length of time.
