Default best injectors

ok, i know there is probably a thread with this already, but what is the best injector for my stock/slighty modified 1991 l98 vette.? 22s are factory, some people are suggesting 24s. will going to 24s hurt the fuel mileage. i know its not a big priority in a vette, but i have always been amazed at the fuel mileage they get. im looking at msd, ford motorsports, and accel. also, if i go cheapo, oreilys or autozone?

Get the Ford Motorsports 24lb injectors and a Holley AFPR for your L98.

Do NOT go Accel or Python. They're garbage.

Not to Hijack your post but are these the right Ford-SVO injectors everybody talks about?

I want to order them, but since I live in the netherlands, I want to make sure they will fit my '85 corvette...

I remember from your previous thread that the injectors ohmed good and you were having a problem with signal on the passenger side. Are the injectors leaking? Are you changing them for future purposes because they are high failure rate Multec injectors? Did you find the problem with the wires?

If the injectors are leaking, I would go with the stock lb rating. JMO
