Re: LT1 Injectors (James94LT1)
I believe they were 22# in 92 & 93, then 24# 94-96. I used to have a formula for calcualting hp to injector #, but it's just an estimate, and bigger is always better. If you're staying N/A and under 500hp at crank, 30# should be good. If you have a power adder or nitrous, you are going to need bigger probably. I've seen some guys with blowers running 46# injectors. That's a lot of gas! :eek: :eek:

Re: LT1 Injectors (Glock'94)
Glock, I am planning to have my heads ported and run a LT4 hotcam. I was just wondering if I needed to change injectors.
FYI: My 2001 Ford Lightning came stock with 42lb injectors.

Re: LT1 Injectors (Glock'94)
You can probably get away with the 24#. I have 30# in mine because of the 383. The cam and head work really doesn't cause the engine to need that much more fuel. Unless you're running a big cam.
Yeah, your lightning is blown, that's why i needs the 42 :chevy :p:
I think you should be fine also, if you have alot of miles or something you may want to replace them. I am going with a bigger cam than the hotcam so I am going to 30#'s plus I plan on a 383-396 in the future sometime!
Hey Mike, what do those GM boys think of you driving your Ford to work?
