Default 120# testimonials?

im looking at moving from my 96ers to 120s for this season.

any favorites? tips/tricks with them?

i got the 96s to run ok quickly when i switched to them in 2007, but some 160's i had trouble with 0% duty cycle at idle (364ci, 850rpm idle)

thanks guys.

I posted a review of FIC's new high impedance 120s which seemed to be better down low at small pulsewidths than the low impedance Lucas 120s with a driver box. I am running E85 but I would think on gasoline they would be right there towards the bottom of what they can do at idle/decel. I wouldn't think it would be a problem depending on your base fuel pressure, what the engine wants, etc.

I totally forgot you are running a BS3, use the low impedance 120s and save some money over the high impedance 120s since you have an aftermarket computer capable of driving them. I ran the low impedance 120s with a driver on my factory PCM and it ran OK but was slightly rich on decel but it's to be expected with big injectors. I was on E85 with my stock cube motor but I also had the base pressure turned up so depending on what base pressure you would need I think it would be manageable.

It's not cheap but I went with twin 96's for the same issue. Problem solved, it really works great.

There are other places that carry 120's but we are one of the few places that has the proper equipment to supply them in 1% flow-matched sets:

Our ICS is very popular amongst customers who go with large injectors
