Default Engine modifications before dyno

Hi all,
Have an EFI conversion with T3 hybrid, upgraded actuator, a CVH 35 kent cam, scorpion exhaust and upgraded intercooler and re mappable ECU ( Omex 600 )
My question is, what size (or colour) injectors can I now put in before I send it off to the dyno to get tuned to squeeze the last bit of power out ?
Do I need a bleed valve ?
Thanks in advance lads !

Take it as it is and ask for attention and advice on fuelling, take the advice and recommendations then go back another day. ive done this many times in the past with many cars and its always been the best way. not with rs turbos I must admit, still the power gains and results ive had from dyno runs and a well experienced bloke giving sound advise have been incredible. ive messed around loads over the years with guess work but good advise on the day has always been the best and quickest way.

just take your car and you, if your dyno centre is worth there salt you will gain some very valuable advise to go away with, go back another day and run again.


(ive gained very respectable amounts of power just from advise with no cost at all, tweek here and there etc)

Injectors should be chosen based on your target BHP, as your on stock rods and pistons you shouldn't be aiming for more than 240bhp really, so a set of Siemens Deka IV 630cc would do nicely leaving you with some overhead, or if you want to go second hand and drop a little power then Astra VXR 480cc will see 230bhp, just.
