Default 30lb Injector question...

Asking for opinions from you knowledgeable guys about these injectors, planning on putting Z06 cam, LS6 heads/intake on a mostly stock 2000, will these be a good addition. Thanks....

Shouldn't need injectors for your planned mods, your 26# stock ones will be plenty adequate.

But yes, those 30s will work fine, and if you do decide to buy them, you will need tuning adjustments to compensate for the additional fuel flow.
Meaning, don't install them until you or your tuner can make those corrections. If you have to drive to the tuner, leave your stock ones in and swap the injectors while at the tuning shop.

Sound like you have your answer...26# may very well handle your mods.
Your installer/tuner will tell you which is better to use..
Good luck Bro...

OK, thanks bro/guys, I've already made the purchase on the 30lb injectors, so I'll see what my tuner/installer has to say as far as which way I should go. Good points...thanks....
