Why are you considering them? I wouldn't.

To make a recommendation, we need to know your expected power level.
Not a "wish" level. Just be realistic.

That's good to know. I guess they're on Herter's list of "tuneable" ones then. He had usually preferred SVO's when people surpassed the power level that the stock GM would support. I remember the Accel injectors giving him fits; they must have transient characteristics that vary a lot from the GM or SVO's,

OP, just so you know, unless your power level calls for an upgrade, larger injectors will do you no good and come with compromises.
