Do I need injectors? H/C set-up I just got done installing my cam and i plan on tuning next spring. My buddy has a set of slightly used 36 lb/hr injectors I can buy cheaper than new and wondering if I should install them before I waste the time going to dynotune 2.5 hours away to find out my stock 28 lb/hr are maxed.
Mods in sig but heres another breakdown:
- CNC ported LS6 heads, 11.1 compression
- Texas Speed 228R cam 228/228 .588/.588 112+2
- Pacesetter 1 3/4" longtubes with ORY and TSP rumber cat-back
- stock LS6 intake manifold
- ported throttle body
- SLP lid
- stock MAF
- stock tuning

Here is the problem. If you change the injectors WITHOUT CHANGING THE TUNE, you stand a chance at damaging your engine.
N/A you will be fine, I would buy his injectors, take your car to the dyno, see what your stockers are at % wise, then install those 36#ers get it tuned and go from there. As you may do more mods later, this sets you up for a nice 440RHP range or so with those 36# injectors

do not RUN your car without having it properly tuned for the injectors.
I really do not understand why this question keeps coming up... you stand a chance at washing down your motor.
it really doesn't take that long to swap injectors, whether aftermarket rails or factory.
-sorry, I have seen this question many of times and want this to turn up when people search or try and read for it.
