P-Pump and PODs

Looking to P-pump my first gen and was wondering if I can ruun the P-pump with the PODs. If so can I also do a fuel plate along with the PODs? Of course taking into account adding more air to the mixture.

it should run just fine with PODs as their opening pressure is set at 260 bar just as all p-pump injectors are. you may also consider running 370s (5x.012) with the p-pump. from what i hear, they make decent power with minimal pump tweaks.

POD's have a 12mm thead on them. Stock P-pump lines have 14mm threads.

You could try to find Lucas bodies that have 14mm threads or have custom lines made, neither is a good choice IMO.

Getting the right injector for the job would be the best way to go.

I'm with him. Why try to save injectors that are less than great when so many good choices are available?
