Default Which injectors do you like?

I need some new injectors, mine are maxed out. Mods in the sig. Think of 42lb. What do you guys think, good size? What brand do you guys suggest?

I went with Bosch. They seem to atomize the fuel the best in my opinion. I was going with Lucas/Delph until I saw how they sprayed(pattern). I ordered mine from Fuel Injector Connection. They were really helpful when I was looking for a set

Also I went with the 42lb for my motor. With 58psi at the fuel pump I needed a 39lb injector to run no more than 80% duty cycle at WOT to support around 500 crank horsepower. I'm pretty much done with my motor performance wise now, but if I do a few little things here and there I have a little bit of room to grow. Hope that helps

The Bosch Design 4, 36 lb/hr injectors, are 42s on our 58 psi system.
There normally rated for 43.5 psi.

but what I was getting at is the injectors that are rated 42# @ 43.5psi are actually 48# injectors at our pressure, so even more breathing room. Even this size injector would work fine on a stock car.

ZL1Killa, Yeah I totally understand what you're saying. I actually ended up getting the 42's @ 43.5psi, and have been running them for about 3-4 months now.
