Default Injector upgrade

Noob. so, Looking to be 400-450rwhp (520-562.5CHP), Guessing I need 42# injectors or more.

update: looking heavily at bosch 42#r's.

do I need any special tools to change/upgrade injectors from stock ls1 2002??

I've been seeing a lot of these SVO green tops for sale lately, I think these are FORD.

Do these just drop in no mods required, no wiring changes or pigtails etc.?
looking for this type of setup that's just plug and play if possible.
I am brand biased and would like to get something other than fords but the prices are not bad.

ideas??


also, What hp is the stock fuel pump good for?

can I just upgrade injectors for now and do the pump later?

Do I need a regulator also or new lines etc.??? only have enough $$ for 1 tune right now when the cam goes in next month, so I'm trying to get the fuel system up to snuff at the same time....

Thanks in advance,

RiceEater.

Call one of the sponsors on here and get the right ones. Call Jon at FIC, Fuel Injector Connection, he will take care of you.

The SVO's are rated at 42 for a 3 bar (43.5) system and you have a 58 4 bar system, they will be too big and a pain to tune correctly. Been there done it.

FIC is who I was talking to about the Bosch 42's. I really don't want svo's

He can resize other injectors, even stock LS1's, to different sizes so it will be easier to tune.
