Well, I made 392rwhp on the stock 24lbs/hr, but I wouldn't recommend it! For that power level 30lbs/hr injectors should suffice and with a little head room too. Of course there will be those that say you can't go too big and the bigger the better as it gives you room to grow, but you do loose resolution with bigger injectors at lower duty cycles that could cause idle and part throttle difficulties.

I used FMS 36#rs because thats what my tuner liked. He actualy would have prefered 42's but I got a great deal on these and he said he could tune no problems. My sugestion to you is contact who ever will be doing your tuning and see if they have a prefrence.recomendation

LT1's, at least the sequential ones came with 24's. Some will argue that the 92-93's did too, but everything I've read says they came with 22's. The LT4's came with either 26 or 28's. I can't remember which, but I think they may be 28's.

i htink they are 28s i guess i may just go with 30s when i replace them. i will have to use one of thsoe injector calculators when the time comes to decide exactly what i need. for those of you with aftermarket injectors.... where did you get them? how much did you pay? did they help your hp?
