Default Injector Question

I currently have 42lb injectors in my 99z, but am wondering how much hp they are capable of handling. The car has a t-76 setup from TTI and I'm looking to push 600rhwp. I know this is very attainable, but didn't know if I actually needed some bigger injectors or not.. ANy help is greatly appreciatied.

Thanks

a few members have pushed them past 600rwhp
they should work, but not much more past that.
if you want to be safe get some 57's or 60's

Who installed the T-76? When it left the shop, the car had a 63 on it. Have you dynoed it since you got it?

It has a 76 on it. I didn't install it but thats the size it is based on measurements and pics that george from TTI looked at. The car wont be dynoed till the new motor goes in.

I would get either the 57's or the mototron 60's.

The 57 arent that much cheaper than the 60's, and the 60's will hold more power, and give you room to grow in the future.
What is the inlet size on the turbo? and the discharge tube will be a different size if it is a t-76 kit, than the t-60 kit

if you need to see the discharge pipe I have one here at the house, and an old DP if you want it.
Thanks

The turbo itself has a 4inch inlet to go to the elbow that extends to the steel tube which goes to the filter. I sent you a couple pics to your email of what the turbo itself looks like.

cool,
I havent gotten the pics yet, but Ill look at em. I am pretty sure that the 60 didnt have a 4" inlet, so I would bet that you have the 76. My TTi 60 was only like a 3" inlet, I have the old elbow somewhere, Ill try to find it and measure

Send the Email to me also...I would like to look at the turbo. There was a custom 63 on there, with a 4 inch inlet on it....looks like a 76, but isn't. I was there when we bought the turbo and installed it, so I will be able to tell you for sure.
