Time for new injectors.
My injectors in my '88 coupe are clogged as many of you problem know all too much about. I've tried unsuccessfully at having them cleaned to no avail. So I've decided to install a new set. My question is: Should I go with a set of stock injectors or a set with a high poundage. My car is modified only with minor bolt ons so far but hope to add my soon, and maybe even a little "giggle gas". Any advice will be appreciated. :cheers:

You are better to stay with stock 22# injectors with slight mods.
Have you tried Rich at Cruzin Performance. His service reconditions, sonic cleans and flow test em for $10/injector. In shop time is 48hrs.
I just received my 9 injectors back today and the 8 are now in the fuel rail waiting for the rain to stop.

If you dont get the current ones serviced, go with FMS 24's. Your computer will adjust the fuel flow, so you wont have to worry about it running rich.

Most on this board change to some version of the Ford injectors. Either #24 or #30 will work. Do a search and read up on this stuff. I'm considering the same swap myself. $225 a set for new sure beats the GM price and those rip off artists in Ecklers or MAD. :seeya

I've replaced the stock injectors on my 89 L98 with the FMS24# that I ordered off of summitracing.com for $219 w/free shipping...unfortunately my car is not running now so I can't tell you how they are working...but others I have talked to have claimed performance and idle improvement.
