Default LS1 Injectors

Anybody experimented with changing the injectors on a slightly modified LS1?

They will only benefit if you are doing a head and cam job with over 400rwhp, from what I have heard. I was think about the 30#SVO until I did some research!

Thanks for the info. I had changed them on my '98 coupe but it had stageIII heads and a pretty radical cam, so it did make a difference with that setup. Haven't gone that far with this one so I wasn't sure.

What have you learned about the injectors? I'm shopping those now for H/C steup.

Larger capacity injectors can serve a purpose other than for HP needs.

I sure thought you could get more out of 99-01 stock injectors than 422 crank horsepower!

The easiest thing to do would be just to look at your injector duty cycle at your peak hp and peak rpm points - if it gets much over 85 or so percent it wouldn't be a bad idea to swap out injectors.

I think Summit has them for 219.95 for a kit of 8. PT# FMS-M9593B302
Check with technical service before purchase
