Default Stock INJs. in cammed car

Im looking at doing a cam swap into my 2000 TA.

A 228/232 cam with 918s.

Would I need to upgrade injectors? Its a 6sp car as well.

Im no expert, but i hear a cam of that size works with stock injectors. You might want to wait for someone with a little more expirence to chime in tho.

Edit:Just saw your in Montgomery. Do you know of any driveshafts i could buy? My LS7 clutch found a weak spot tonight lol.

In my experience I've always found it to be a good rule of thumb to get bigger/better injectors and a fuel pump when doing a cam swap. You could always hook a scan tool up to your car and see what the duty cyle is on your stockers and that would give you an idication of how well or how bad your injectors are performing.

If you plan to do more in future then good idea to go bigger but just for cam with the year you've got you will be ok.

go 42#... I just got some for mine (finally) and there is a big difference! My duty cycle with the stock injectors was 99% at WOT. Now it is 51% at WOT, so I have plenty of room to grow...FICinjectors has some direct replacements (42# flowmatched) that are made from stock for $239, and so far they work great. A little tuning is required, so keep that in mind.
