Default Cost effective injectors?

Pretty sure with the ported 799s and a different cam I will need to upgrade from my 28# stock injectors.

I was thinking of using the cobra injectors but now I'm reading about how they don't work properly.

What is another good budget option? I really don't have $$$$ to buy high dollar new injectors.

Blue Giant 03/04 Cobra injectors

since they are 4v they supposedly have a weird spray pattern that makes tuning them more difficult, and apparently they require adapters to use anyway

I am unfamiliar with them, I'll look into it. That's exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

Are they plug and play? No adapters or any issues? I'm running a stock fuel rail and a Fast 90mm if that makes a difference at all.

What about stock ls7 injectors? They support ~580-600rwhp without issues. If not 60lb SDs are a decent deal for around $400.

Looking to spend $200 or less. The resizing program would be a good deal but I can't go without my stockers for long enough to send them in right now, maybe later if I don't come up with something.

"bosch 36"

"bosch 41.5"

"bosch buick injectors"

"bosch III"

They are bright white and easy to spot when scrolling through the results.

The same guy started a new auction as soon as mine was over I think, from CA. He shipped same day. If you want I will update this thread once I receive and install them.

sounds like a lot of trouble if possible issue. money sucks, but I would have just either been without or bought a new set and had no worries and spent some extra dough. Glad you were able to find some that would work for cheap though.
