Well, it was order these (which as long as they are the part number listed in the auction will work with no hassles) or wait a month to save up for expensive *** new ones.
Worst case scenario: he sends crap injectors and I file a paypal claim and get my refund and still wait a little longer to get bigger injectors
We are talking about $60 shipped here...not a lot tied up in trying them compared to the retarded expensive new sets out there.

I just finished talking with the guys at Wilson Manifolds. They suggested Trick Flow injectors and have had a lot of luck with their products. The way I look at it, if they say something works, then it must be true. They have a great reputation about their fuel systems, and if they would say that, I'd go with them.
I did go out and order a full set of 44# for my GTO for all of the mods I'm doing to my car. They come with three holes vs. some only come with one hole for metering fuel.
Hopefully over Christmas break I can get it all intstalled.

I say go FIC, and they are flow-matched which is a big plus. No down time because they can send you a set first and you return your stockers. I'm running a set re-sized to 42lbs. They are 65% at 6500rpm on a cam/bolt ons setup.

So far so good with the injectors.
Got them in with no issue, car fired right up with nothing but a change to the IFR table. Fuel trims are within 5% what little I drove it. Got on it a little to the temporary 5500rpm limiter and got around 48% duty cycle.
I think bang for buck for these is going to be hard to top for a measily $60.
Didn't get to play much, blew a trans cooler line and lost a damn gallon of fluid so I had to fix that.

The ones I got were in an auction, buy it now was like $150 but the bid was $50 when I found it.
I threw a $100 bid on them but no one ever bid after me. Shipping was free. The guy threw up another set as soon as my auction ended I believe. Someone might have used buy it now on that set though.
I think any more than $100 shipped and I would prefer to send the stockers to the sponsor in this thread for rebuild/resizing for peace of mind, but if you get them for a good deal they should be satisfactory.
