Default Stock L98 22lb Injectors Advice

Just wanted to know how much HP stock 22lb injectors can handle before having to upgrade to a larger set. If need be here is what my setup will be. Superram manifold, plenum and runners, 214/224 cam, 1.6 rollers, stock heads with mild porting and 2.00 intake valves/1.56 exhaust valves, custom chip, headers and all the little stuff like AFPR etc..... As you all know we like save if we can. The injectors I have are the originals (1986) but have under 30,000 on them and in good working order. If I need to change thinking of using ford 24lb. Thanks to any suggestions

Stock injectors can MORE than handle what you're running.

I thought I had read somewhere (TPIS maybe?) that stock was 19lb/hr

i know for a 91 l98 they are 21lbs. i did think i read somewhere that 86's were 19lbs, but not certain. but even 19lbs are good for around 350-400 hp. you need 24lbs when above 450hp.

You won't have any problems using the OE injectors. Do you have that Super Ram manifold yet? If not check around then email me with your best deal I can beat anyones deal on that SR.
