Default Running shorter injectors.
I just tried installing my seimens deka 55# injectors and they fit but are about 1/4" shorter. Did some searching and cant find anything on this probelm, just wanted to post up and see if there was a easy fix before I cut and reweld the tabs up higher.

The best fix would be to sell them to someone who needs the shorty injectors, such as ls2 or truck owners, and buy the standard long 60# injectors. You could probably get a even swap pretty easily. Shortening the rail spacing isn't any easy feat.

a curiosity question ... how much power are you making or going to be making. I noticed you are playing with the 55# and 60# injectors

700+ to the wheels, 76mm Garrett & 317 heads. Plus I would like to eventually run E85 and I dont even know if the 55's will be enough for that.
