Default 46 lbers too big for cam-only?

I kind of want to get some 46 lbers, looking at the ones from FIC, which will flow 53 lb/hr on the ls1 system.

I have torquer v3, ls6 intake, full boltons, may do heads, bigger engine or something eventually, but for the most part probably gonna stay the same.

Are these injectors too big for my car?

Have racetronix fuel kit

Btw, i have a 150 wet kit, but that doesnt affect the injectors (unless there are any benefits to converting to dry)

cam only, too much injector... I think 30's rated at 39 will flow 36 in your car would be enough.. With a wet kit the fuel is added through its own system so that extra HP is out of the calculation. The Brand new flow matched Bosch 3 are a drop in.. They are on sale for 289 for the set.. 239 if you trade in the ls1 stock injectors.

Listen to Jon, you don't need headroom. You will be way over on your fueling even if you do heads.

42 greentops turn into 50 greentops in your car, you would have enough headroom for a small supercharger.
