Yeah, I agree with longrange, I would recommend mototrons, I've seen them as low as $420, but keep and eye out, might be able to get a used set a little cheaper. 42's are only good for so long!!!

YES THE STS IS WORTH IT!! I went with 42#s but I'm thinking I should've gone with the 60's especially if you plan on going with more boost later.

I sell the 60 pound injectors for $420.00, and at this price it just isn't worth using the 42 pounders. With a good tune the 60's produce no side effects with driveability. Bob
