Default Injectors?

Alrighty, I am getting ready to add a nice cam with some heads to my vette (2000 w/ 34K) and was interested in your inputs on whether I should increase my injectors. I am running a 100 shot (dry).

YES!!! Change them. I did the h/c package and other mods and when the tuner put it on the dyno my a/f ratio went way up at about 4500 rpm. We put in the 30# SVO's and the problem disappeared. They are a modest increase over the stockers and my gas mileage barely suffered. Better to be safe then sorry

SVO 30# injectors are a HUGE increase over the 2000's stock 26# injectors. At GM fuel pressure they are 37# injectors, a 42% increase in size.


That being said.... If you are gonna do heads/cam and a DRY NO2 setup, then the bigger injectors will probably be fine.

Anyone use the supercharged 3.8 v6 injectors? pn 0280155811 36lb and 12 ohms and the stock style bosch ev6. I heard this is what gm uses in their asa program.
