Default lt1 info needed

Hello guys, pretty new to the ltx motor. I am planning a cam swap for my 93 a4 z28 soon and this is my list of parts:

Cc503 cam
1.6 rrs
Alex spring lt1 springs
New msd opti
Pnp on the heads an intake
taylor wires
Mail order tune

My question is do I need different injectors, if so what size brand? Is a 3600 stall overkill? Anythink else I should get or change while I'm there?

Lots of guys run the 503 on stock injectors. You can run a 226/232 AI cam with stock injectors.

I'm running almost the same cam on stock (new) 22lbs injectors. No problems with suppling fuel, even with a .035 fuel jet for a 150 wet shot.

The 503 is a bigger cam then you're running.

I think you're injectors are to small for your setup. Have you ever put a wideband on it?

Also a wet shot doesn't use the fuel injectors. A dry shot would use your fuel injectors.

I think some folks missed that.
IMO 22lbs injectors and ported heads/cam do not go together.
I would put an MSD cap and rotor on a stock opti NOT buy a complete MSD opti. Put the savings towards injectors.
Also consider your car is 20years old, it might endup needing a fuel pump to feed this. A perfect working order stock pump could likely feed it but again, your car is 20 years old so sometimes we have to change additional things..

Stay away from the Taylor wires. They fail quickly. Even new ones have been known to arc.

MSD wires work pretty good. Get fire boots for the plug ends.

My '94 ran best with the full MSD opti.

You wouldn't be doing a cam or head swap unless it was for a performance upgrade. There's nothing wrong with that.

When you do the cam swap, be sure to match the cam dowel pin length of the 503 to your stock cam dowel pin length by either tapping it in with a mallet or grinding it down. It will cause major problems otherwise.

Maybe check out this Northwest U.S. section here on tech, and maybe someone near you can help you out better.
