Be very careful with fiveomotorsports. They sell used and rebuilts. If your injectors fail you must pay $35.00 to return them. You must pay the shipping and 15% service charge to return the injectors. On a set of $300.00 injectors it will cost you $80.00 to return them plus shipping. One forum member had to return two set of injectors because they were faulty. Another member ordered new Bosch injectors and received used injectors. According to their website they will only refund your money if the package is unopened and the injectors have not been installed. Also, according to the website: Parts deemed ineligible for credit/core credit will be returned freight collect You could end up with no refund plus your injectors will be sent back to you at your expense. If you order from them you agree to their terms.
Here is their policy that is on their homepage.

Before returning any product you must: Please include your original purchase date with any return.
Call (562) 867-4999 to request a Return Authorization (RA). (We reserve the right to grant or refuse RA requests).
When issued a RA, it is good for 30 days. Return Authorization is not a guarantee of refund or replacement.
Only unopend/uninstalled parts will be refunded.
All refunded parts are subject to a 15% handling, repackage, and/or restocking charge.
All parts are checked and reviewed based on the customer's claim.
The RA number must be writen on the outside of your return package.
Send all parts postage paid - we will not accept COD packages.
Be sure to package all return parts securely - please no loose parts.
Parts deemed ineligible for credit/core credit will be returned freight collect.
All warranty adjustments are subject to a $35 service/handling charge.
Parts sold for off-road or racing purposes are sold as-is and carry no service warrarty.

Glad I read this thread...

As was noted earlier. Be very careful, but my personal advise is to run from them. My own personal experience with them, along with many other individuals in the Alfa Romeo/Fiat communities from around the US have been burned badly by them.

I purchased *NEW* Bosch injectors, for my GTV6 for a 3.5 liter engine I was building, and got used injectors. When I called to get it straightened out they gave me the run around and I had to dispute it through my cc company. It took nearly 4 months and several written statements between me and the cc company before I finally got my full refund from them. They eventually had UPS pick them up some 6 months later.

If I had not saved the printout of the web page showing the injectors being sold as new I would have been SOL. Unfortunately I know of many others in the Italian car community that have had far worse experiences.

Just a FYI

I think fiveomotorsports gets used injectors from salvage yards and sells them as new or rebuilt.

The 24lb. will be fine with a custom chip and an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. Because you are planning mods I would not get 22lb. You have the engine out. Now is the time to install that cam. It is a major pain to install later.

depending on your level of mods the 24's should be fine. If you are not changing tune or engine internals than stick with a stock or 22lb injectors.

I'd pick them up from jegs or summit racing to have some piece of mind.

Both places sell them.

Are accel injectors any better than stock? thank you for your time.
I would say your cheapest and easiest route would be to send your current injectors off to cruzinperformance.com to have Rich rebuild/clean/service them. It would save a lot of hassle if a set of aftermarket injectors didn't turn out like you hope. The stock injectors are good up to and past 300 hp. A AFPR would be a good upgrade. You can invest the rest of your money in a good laptop/scan setup.

Exhaust/intake/chip will likey get you around 300 hp. IMO

EDIT: Sorry reread your initial post. You have the unservicable Multec injectors. I guess an aftermarket or stock 86-88 injector(s) is what you need. Let me look around.

These would probably be a good set.

I have heard rumors of the fiveomotorsport injectors being a used injector..smelling like fuel after being received. I have nothing to confirm this.

If not these, I would say you can purchase a used set for a 86-88 Corvette from somewhere for cheap and sent them to Rich for rebuilding. My 86 injector flow rate is 21.6 and I don't see your 89 being much different.

Default #22 injectors

Dave,

Go to Ebay and look for injectors. Fiveomotorsport( 2538)
Feedback: 99.8% Positive will come up. Go into the fiveomotorsports store and go down the list of injectors. Corvette will come up with #22.
I just paid $249.99 with $12.50 shipping.

If you can't find them let me know and I will try to help.

Be advised that the Ford injectors with the pink tops that Five O sells are about 1/4 in shorter than the OEM injectors. That may not sound like much but it requires modifications that I was not comfortable with.

They did refund my money after a lot of lip and hassle. Never again!

I think fiveomotorsports figured that one out. Why not check out a salvage yard for a wreck with low miles. Salvage yards should have hundreds of injectors that will fit your Vette. There is a salvage yard near my home that has about 25 C4s. I get parts there all the time for cheap $$$.
