Default Quick Injector Question

I'm going to be running a 4.8 with a T-70 for now until I get the bugs worked out of the car, then will be installing my 408 and an S480 and need injectors. For $440 I can get a set of Seimens 80lb high impedence injectors. I know I should PROBABLY be running 60lb mototrons on this 4.8 but not sure if I should buy a set just to turn around and sell for the 408 if there isn't THAT big of a difference as far as tuning. Should I just get 60's, run them until I get the 408 going and install the 80's? What would you do?

Thanks fellas, appreciate the advice!

Tony

If you know that you'll eventually need the 80s then I would just get those... but this is assuming they can tune the 80s prior to the 408.

I'll be using the LC-1 wideband and HP Tuners Pro to tune this thing.

i would get the 60s. 80s are going to be over kill and will probably cause problems tuning. get the 60s and then when ready sell them and get the 80s

That's kinda what I was leaning towards, don't want idle issues and a hell of a time tuning the 80's on that poor little 293. I'll just get the mototrons and call it a day, should be sufficient @ 60psi for this application for now! >=) Thanks guys.

Well if you get the 60s and don't use them much, send me a PM. I might need a set by then .
