Default Trick Flow injectors

I noticed these injectors for sale at summitracing.com There has been a lot of arguing about injectors lately. I know, sorry guys. I'm always at fault.

I noticed these stainless steel injectors by Trick Flow. Now there is a name I know. Summit racing has them. Just wanted to let you know there are alternatives to rebuilts. They are $299.00 for a set of 8. I'm thinking about sending my AC Delco Lucas injectors back and buying them. I just got the AC Delcos yesterday from Eckler's. They were like $650.00 for the set. The Trick Flows have a 90 day warranty. They come in different sizes. Anybody use them?

The Summit brand and Trickflow injectors look like Accels. When I upgrade I'll be using Racetronix. They are ~$300/shipped.

Just checked, the Racetronix injectors are Delphi/Lucas.

I like them. Got my Walbro fuel pump from them. Didn't know they sold injectors. Are they new or rebuilts. Seems too cheap for new. I checked out new Lucas and they were like $88.00 each

Why not call them before you order. I looked at the ad it doesn't say if they are new or rebuilt.

I did a little searching and found this. Looks like Trick Flow introduced their line of injectors in Febuary, 2008. I already decided to send back my Lucas injectors to Eckler's and buy the Trick Flow. I ordered the Trick Flows through Summitracing.com. The total cost was $311.00. Here's an article I found on the internet.

Trick Flow TFX Fuel InjectorsPublish date: Jan 24, 2008

LOS ANGELES - Trick Flow Specialties TFX Fuel Injectors deliver better fuel atomization, high operating efficiency, and quieter performance than other aftermarket fuel injectors. The injectors are part of Trick Flow's new line of TFX Fuel System Products, which includes fuel filters, fuel pumps, fuel regulators, fuel fittings and hose, and nitrous systems and accessories.

TFX Fuel Injectors feature disc-type fuel control valves and improved nozzles to atomize fuel better. Low magnetic stainless steel injector bodies prevent corrosion from underhood contaminants and seal the injectors from moisture and contamination. The injectors have EV1-style wiring connectors, which match the OE wiring harnesses for an easy, positive connection. Viton fluoroelastomer O-rings seal the injectors to the fuel rails and intake manifold to prevent fuel and air leaks under extreme operating temperatures. TFX Fuel Injectors include 1/2 micron filter screens to keep debris out of the injectors and are available in 24 lbs./hr., 30 lbs./hr., 36 lbs./hr., 48 lbs./hr., and 120 lbs./hr. flow ratings.

"Our TFX Fuel Injectors deliver the fuel needed to make big horsepower," said Al Noe, Trick Flow Manager. "Plus, they're less likely to become clogged and have electronically drilled and machined internal discs to prevent rich air fuel mixtures. That means optimum fuel economy and maximum performance."

Based in Akron, Ohio, Trick Flow Specialties offers products that provide "Ultimate Bolt-On Performance!". Trick Flow's product lines include cylinder heads, intake manifolds, camshafts, valvetrain components, and more. For product information, visit http://www.TrickFlow.com.

We only sell new injectors.
The TFS injectors are the same as our disc injectors.
