Default New injectors

I'm about to start round 2 of mods and I'm looking at getting some new injectors for my 91. Is fuel injector connection still the preferred place to buy? 36# will be the size, anyone have good experience with a brand of 36#s in their car?

Why do you need 36# injectors?

Stock are 22 in your L98.

FIC is good to go. You can call them and chat with them about your needs and goals. Good group over there in my experience.

Can't make more power without more fuel. I'm near 100% duty cycle right now with my 1st round of mods.

I would call up FIC and chat with them about your next round of mods and how much injector you might need.

36 might be enough or not enough depending on your goals... E85, etc...

I never like to go with to much injector personally.

South Bay Injectors is another GOOD source of injectors. They helped me when I wanted to replace their injectors and gave me a price that was hard for anybody to beat with great service as well. FIC is a great source of injectors and knowledge but competition is good for the customer and will save you some money. South Bay is located on the East Coast and ships fast to our part of the country.

Check them out before jumping in any direction!

Best regards,
Chris

I believe I saw an email that FIC is on vacation and is closed for the week.

Second here on size !!! Smaller better for many reasons !!! Bigger is not necessarily better = much harder to tune !!! I buy my injectors from RaceTronix because they flow match them all !!! greg
