Default Throttle body & Fuel Injectors

Hi there,

After deciding to which cam to go through on my 2001 C5 Coupe, auto transmission, I am planing to get a performance 42 lbs fuel injectors set and a wider throttle body with professional tuning.

Please clarify the following to me and others as well:

1. I found an 80 & 90 mm dia. for the throttle body, Which size is recommended?

2. Any recommendations for any known average price fuel injectors? I found plenty of them available in the market, which one to choose?

Thanks,

I have a set of Patriot Stage II heads 11.5 CR, Ported FAST and Ported 90 MM TB and Im running 42 lb/hr injectors. Unless you have at least all the above,,,you would most likely do a LOT better with SVO 30' lb/hr injectors. Best thing to do is see how your stock injectors work by date logging and finding out what the injector duty cycle is at WOT under load.

Unless you get a FAST intake or one of the other 90 mm intakes, the 90 mm TB will not fit.

What size cam do you plan on installing? If you get a large cam, you will need a high stall Torque Converter to make the car run right.

Like bill said !

I hope your getting a huge cam to support those injectors.

See sig for my set up with 30# injectors. At WOT I rarely get above 86% usage
