LT4 come with 26lb injectors good to 450bhp. If there is nothing wrong with them you do not need to change.

so they are good to 450 flywheel horsepower? I thought guys with LT4 were upgrading them a lot sonner than that. like around 400hp or so. seems hard to beleive that stock injectors are good for over 100hp what the motor came with stock? anyone else have any experiance in this?

The LT1 stock injectors are also good over 400 HP. People love to spend their money.

how do you determine that an injector is good to a certain HP? simply that upgrading it untill you hit a certain power doesnt make much difference or what? ( did that make any sense?)
