Default installing cobra injectors in ls1

I have already bought the 39lb injectors for 100 DOLLARS!!!!!!!! now I know that there are adapters to make them fit but I heard that you could shave them a little. Does anyone have a pic of this or could tell me where to shave. thanks

it is close, but you need to shave part of the injector to get them to go on, or use and adapter

It's obvious when you put them on. You need to take a bit out of the connector on the bottom where it contacts the injector. When you try to push them onto the injector, they wont snap in. Just a bit of shaving makes them snap in for a positive contact.

Let me know how those work out for you. I'm having some long term fuel trim problems after installing them. I am using a known good IFR table, but seeing very high LTFTs. I'm trying to sort it out right now.
