Is is safe to assume that you had a tune performed with the former upgrades and will do the same when you install the additional intake mods? The tuner would be able to tell you if you have maxed out your injectors and what replacements would be preferred.

thanks for replying, yes I've had a prior tune with previous mods but want to have a larger set handy if these max out which I believe they would. So my question is which ones do I go with to be safe 42lb ls3 will they connect to my harness?

Ask the tuner who did the first tune what duty
Cycle you were at. If you weren’t close to 90% or so you might be ok.

They will be very close to max duty cycle at that power. I was running 85% at 460 HP with cam + full bolt ons and factory 243 heads. Upgraded injectors when upgraded heads.
