More injector questions
Does anyone know if injectors from an LS1 motor will work in a L98? I just bought a set of 26# injectors off ebay for $52.00. The seller said they had less then 4000 on them. I want to put them in my 383 that I am building. I know the retainer clips won't work but doesn't the fuel rail actually hold them in? They are part #12555894. FiveO Motorsports say they are 26lbs/hr-4 bar injectors for 1999-2001 Corvette LS1.
Here is what they look like according to the picture on FiveO's webpage

They work fine, when installed in a L98 with 43.5 PSI (3 bar) rail pressure the injectors flow about 24lb/hr. I just tuned a fellow forum members car last week with the same injectors installed in a 383.

I ran them in my lightly modded L98 but had to pull them due to rich condition that I could not correct via the AFPR.
I cut a clip ring groove around the injector body about 1/8"-1/4" above their stock groove; this allowed them to seat deep enough into the intake base and seal well at both the fuel rail and the intake base.

It would seem to me that 24# would be too low for a 383 especially if it has much of a cam, reprogrammed ecm, intake, exhust etc Seems like it would cause a lean condition if pushed hard like test and tune etc
There is a formula somewhere for determining injector size I remember seeing it but dont know where
There are many people on this forum who know a lot more about this than I do
Just my .02
