When do you need larger injectors?
I have a '98 TA that has a stock bottom end w/ common bolt on ugrades, CAI & LT's w/ cat back and while replacinging the clutch I've decide to go ahead and install the LS6 stage II heads & intake and mild 226 cam pkg I've been sitting on for quite a while. While I'm at it I was wondering if installing a fresh set of larger injectors would be a worthwhile investment for this and future upgrades (LS3 short block)? Like title says are larger injectors (36#) a good choice at this time or would it be a waste of money & fuel with little to be gained. Thanks for any suggestions

The issue is getting improper fueling. If you have an injector that is giving you consistent fuel delivery, then why not, sure.

From RCENG:
"Most injectors will operate up to 80-85% duty cycle without any issues. Exceeding the maximum duty cycle will basically cause the injector to go static. The transition from a dynamic state to a static one will cause the injector to become unstable for a brief moment. Typically, the injector pulse width will operate past this "dead zone" rather quickly and go wide open. "
