stock injectors with FM13
I've just about got all the extra things i need for my cam swap in the spring, but what about fuel injectors. Will the stock 26lb injectors be fine with a cam like FM13 with stock heads? If not, what size do i need, 28lb? Anyone maxing out their injectors with a cam in the 230 range?

the injectors on my 2002 ls1 maxed out with the F13 cam. I get all the "your stock injectors are good to 450rwhp" BS. But guess what? they werent! In my case they were run to 111% Duty cycle just to get her tuned. Candy at FMS told me that they were begining to hear this more often. Good luck

Racetronix is having a special on their Delphi 32# right now. They flow 36.5# at 58 PSI and would be a good choice with room for expansion.

How can you say he doesnt need injectors? People were telling me the same thing, and that i would be good to 450rwhp, but they were wrong. Only way to find out is to get dyno tuned and find out what the duty cycle on yours are. Industry standard is to not run over 80%.

If there is we havent found it. The PSI is fine, and it was tuned. I may have just gotten some shitty injectors from the factory, but if that iswhat happened to me it could happen to someone else also.

Now you guys got me wondering if i need to upgrade my injectors when my h/c combo comes in? 346 w/afr205s& g5x3 and no2. By the way i know they upgraded the injectors in 01 but what size are factory for an 01 ss 28 or 26? Thanks

400 rwhp NA does not require injector swap, over that a dyno tune will determine that. 80 to 85% cycle is good after that you're overloading the injectors and run risk of failure.
As for N2O if you shoot wet, then you'll need a fuel pump, dry and you'll need both pump and injectors.
