52lb injectors on a bolt-on LS1?
52lb injectors on a bolt-on LS1? I have some Siemens 52lb injectors that I want to run on my 2000 Camaro SS. I’m at about 360 hp now, but I’m going to be spraying a 150 shot soon. Are these fuel injectors too big to be using on a bolt-on car? Should I sell them for 42lb? This is my daily driver and I don’t want any drivability issues as a result.
2000 Camaro SS --- SLP Lid, Free ram air, Descreened MAF, Port and Polish TB, LS6 intake, - AIR, - EGR, MSD spark plug wires, NGK TR6, MAC mid-length headers, Magnaflow cat-back, LS7 Clutch
Coming soon: 52lb injectors and 150 shot of nitrous

From what I’ve read on this forum, the stock injectors on the 99 and 00 can only safely handle 425 rwhp. If I’m putting down 360 rwhp now + 150 rwhp w/nitrous = that puts me at 510 rwhp. That’s way too much for the stock injectors to handle.
By the way they are actually 60lb injectors. I’m going to see if I can trade down to some 42lb or lower.

The 425 limit isn't just the injectors limit though; your fuel pump craps out in that territory also. Any competent tuner can get you running with those injectors without grief.
