Default 160lb Injectors - Bosch vs Ford

We are running around 900rwhp on 96# injectors (Low-Z) on an LS6 intake and stock pcm. HP Tuners tuned. 2004 Z06.

We are looking to go bigger and are considering the 160lb injectors. We are told the 160 Bosch might be a pain to tune, but the Ford ones will be better and are cheaper.

Any input?

Thanks

Ford does not make injectors. the 160 Ford is a Bosch injector so there is no difference.. The Fords even have the Bosch part number on the side

From another post on a thread I made regarding the ford's vs Bosch's

the ones referencing the low ohms are still a bosch injector bosc pn 0280150839 fd pn f5te-b5a they came in the crown vics that the post refered to. they have not made that injector for years. The 160 low impedance we use now is bosch pn 0280150845 fd pn xl3e-c9a
the 160 on our site is the new high impedance model that can run on the stock ecm. Any of those old f160's are low impedance and need a driver box to use with the stock ecu. be care full which ones you get.. 550 is a good price if they are the 845 white tops
hope this helps
