'98 - --- 28.6#
'99-'00 - 26.4#
'01-'02 -- 28.8#

for your estimated 450-550hp I would get some 60lb injectors

60lb is WAAAY overkill

42.lb'ers would be fine for you. I have 42's (48@ 4 bar) and have plenty of growing room.. I wouldn't hesitate to run some FIC rebuilt units.

If you are running LS1 fuel rails you need the EV1 type..

60lbers are waaayyy overkill. I'm running some FAST 37# or 38# injectors with 502rwhp on a 100 dry shot with the stock fuel pump. also its a bolton cam car at 6500rpm wot I'm at 60-65% duty cycle can't remember the exact number.

Call up FIC Injector, tell them your stuff, and have them spec a set out for you.

I got some damn near new in box 36's for $160.... The deals are out there, just gotta keep looking.

On a side note. I heard the svo (fat style) injectors are kinda crappy to tune with, something with their pulse rate or width, something like that. So Ide just look for some EV1 skinny style injectors. eBay is your friend as well.... Stick with 36's or 42's. 60's are for man cars lol

Green Top 42# SVO's would be money for your setup.. Im running them and making 430whp and Im not seeing anywhere near the maximum safe DC for the injector. They are also very tunable and any reputable tuner should be able to tune them with ease.

42lb should be fine and give you some room to grow.

You can have your stockers rejetted to whatever you like and they will rebuild them and flow match them all for less then a set of SVOs. And the spray pattern will be better and they will scale out better in your tune. But dont listen to me, what do I know
