Default 42 lb injectors too much for my setup?
Hello all. I think I might be maxing out my injectors.

Mods in sig.

There is a set of 42lbers locally for $115 shipped (delphi's)

I know I would need to be tuned again before I start the car.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Properly tuned with those, you'd only be seeing about 65% duty cycle with them. You probably don't need anything larger than 36lb, making at most 450 FWHP. Can you use them, yes. Should you? Maybe...
