What size injector do I need for a 383?
I'm having a 383 L98 built. It will use the superram intake.
What size injector do I need to purchase?
What brand? How much should I look to spend?
I asked the guys at pcm for less how many lb injectors they recommeded and they said 24lb should be fine.
Is that in agreement here?
Any particular brand? What's the problem with going with too large of an injector - example--- 30lb?

what about these injectors?
looks like ~$230 for a set of 8.
Do I need high impedance or low impedance with the L98?

I have Ford 30 pounders in mine. Its a 383 stroker with 220 heads, Superam base and top. Mild custom ground cam, 1.5 rolling rockers, and full headers. I just installed a Dewitts radiator because car would overheat on hot days with the 383. Oh i forgot. I got a custom burned chip from Fastchip.

Probably 30's but you should talk to whomever is tuning it first.

If your tuner said #24's go with them. I had #28's but my tuner said they would be maxed out and I should go with #30's. So that's what I went with, Ford #30's. The Lightning has #60's because the tuner for that said they would be better than the stock #40's. Both seem to run pretty well.

is SVO a injector brand?
or is it a vendor shop?
link?
is there a injector in the middle? say a 26lb or 28lb that would be better? Why do most people jump from 24 to 30?

I went with 30lbers in my 383, which is similar to yours. I got them for $270 brand new. Ben

according to this link I'd need a minimum of 35lb injectors if I had hoped to make 450HP.
The 24lb injectors are only good to 307HP, and I better be making more than that
the 30lb injector is good for 384HP and I am hoping for more like 425ish HP or so.
Is this tool not applicable?

You said it was a 383 with a superram, but what else has changed, ie cam, ported heads, etc. If Alvin told you the 24's are fine, and he is going to tune it, then that is what I would use. If it turns out it needs bigger injectors, changing them and readjusting the tune is not that big of a deal.

This can be a very heated debatable subject. Use what your tuner prefers.
