I was just looking throught the stock tune and tell me if am wrong but is the stock BPW 397.6? So it needs to go down almost 200 usec?

No! I think I led you to BPW being all to important calibration factor before tuning, which is the case on other ECM. Just change the injector size in your ECM/PCM, if running higher pressure use the spreadsheet to get injector flow.

See, this is where using the wrong term over time gets people confused. BPW is the time in milliseconds that the injector is commanded to open. You are thinking of Base Pulse Constant - the conversion factor used by the old ECMs to figure out the required PW or BPW.
Those parameters that you have open, are simply the minimum time in micro-seconds that the PCM is allowed to open the injectors. There is a point as you go shorter in time at which the amount of fuel dispensed by the injector is not consistant, and idle will get erratic.
You don't really need to worry about those.

In my opinion the size of the injector flow (lbs per hr) is what you should calculate first for the demand of fuel needed to match the engines consumption. This figure should be at no more than 80 % duty cycle. Larger Injector sizing sometimes is taken to large which also can cause poor performance regardless of pulse width. Injector sizing is no different than carburetor jet sizing, you can be to small or too large, there is still a sweet spot. As far as the pressure setting, this would only be fine tuning of the injector sizing and you don't want to beat up your injectors with excessive pressure, the higher the pressure the harder the injector pintle slams closed which will cause excessive, unneeded wear and erratic operation. I have never seen a gm throttle body application higher than 16 psi that was not erratic. Its important that you have enough reserve fuel flow from your fuel pump but don't overkill the flow rate, there is a percentage thats engineered into every vehicle, they do this for a reason. All systems can very per application.
Sounds like I have been doing this right all along then, I have not messed with many of the older ECM's. Mainly just the $0D code and the 94-95 $EE for the LT1's which also has the injector and engine size constants. I will try to keep the pressure in check and not to high. There is something I am holding back from you guys though....the main reason for the Walbro pump is because this winter I am planning on a custom MPFI project for this motor.

I have the belt setup off a Camaro to clear the TB, I have a set of 30 PPH Ford Injectors, I may even through in a differnt cam and a set of heads. This intake will accept an LS style TB. The only thing I am concered with is the IAC working with the 7427. I have not seen anyone try this yet.

Sexy! That looks like a lot of air!
I've used the 1998-99 LS1 IAC, it looks the same as a Holley four barrel/BB TBI and Lt1 IAC, part number for 2000-01 is differant and did not try, but looks the same physically.
Did the ford injectors come with data sheet? We have found the biggest issue with unknown injectors is back to same settings like BPC, injector size, displacement but is the unknown Injector offset to voltage...

No but I wish they did, these are the Ford SVO red top injectors. I have been told that with the factory LT1 fuel pressure to set the injector size to about 32. I know about the the injector offest voltage. There was a thread going around on Fullsize chevy forum about this. I have a good starting point tune for when I convert to MPFI.
That would be some really good info the have though...let the search begin!

I knew I read this before. But the LT1 is a little differant the an $0D, Usec and mSec... so read on...

From Ford racing: All injector flow rates are quoted at a delta pressure of 39.15 psi. To convert to a delta pressure of 43.5 psi, multiply flow rate by 1.054.
