In Episode 6, Jamie and Lucas break down how to properly choose the right injector for your build using real-world data, not internet myths.They cover OEM injector sizing across Twin Cam and Milwaukee-Eight platforms, how to read ECU data like duty cycle and pulse width, and why bigger injectors don’t mean more power. You’ll also learn the often-overlooked factor that can make or break drivability: minimum pulse width and low-speed control.Whether you’re building a mild cam setup or a high-horsepower engine, this episode gives you the knowledge to avoid common mistakes, improve tuning accuracy, and get the most out of your combination.In this episode: Why injector size should be based on your engine—not guesswork  How to log and interpret duty cycle and pulse width  The truth about the “80% rule” (and what actually works for Harleys)  Why oversized injectors hurt low-speed performance  Real-world guidelines for Twin Cam and M8 injector sizing  The importance of spray pattern, fuel pressure, and injector quality If you’ve ever wondered whether you actually need bigger injectors—or how to choose the right ones—this episode will save you time, money, and frustration.LINK: https://university.fuelmotousa.com/article/choosing-the-right-fuel-injector-for-your-harley-davidson-milwaukee-8-or-twin-cam/"},"annotations":[{"startTime":159.84,"endTime":170.56,"type":"car","title":"Alpine A110","url":"/cars/alpine/a110","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/de/Alpine_A110%2C_Motorworld%2C_Munich_%28IAA10018%29.jpg","quote":"All those cable bikes have four inches. So you would see duty cycles in the 90s in cams and a 110 twin cam, like the 07 to 10 CVOs baggers, they would peg the duty cycle right to 100. So they needed bigger injectors, but even the screaming eagle kits and such didn't use bigger injectors.","canonicalId":"car:alpine:a110","priority":0.7,"confidence":1.0,"source":"fuzzy","data":{"imageAttribution":"Matti Blume (CC BY-SA)"}},{"startTime":199.2,"endTime":211.44,"type":"car","title":"Lancia Lambda","url":"/cars/lancia/lambda","image":"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f3/1924-05_Stockholm_Lancia_Lambda_Garbo_Schmiterl%C3%B6w.jpg","quote":"...cent more fuel mass to achieve the same commanded lambda.
