Default When do you need larger injectors

What power level do the stock injectors stop meeting the need? I have read some thread where people are putting down around 400ish and I never see anything about injectors but other people have 42lbs with similar mods. Are those people just being safe er what?

hmm interesting. The limits of my engine build will be bolt ons and H/C/I setup. So I will probably end up buying 42ish anyways in the long run

sweet I plan on doing a MS4 cam, does he have any videos or anything? How does he like the cam? How choppy is the idle, etc.

vids from the track are cam only, the red ls1 is H/C.. it was like 87 degrees out that night.. times SUCKED! i was running 7.5s@90.. shoulda been 7.2-7.3s@94-95..

the idle clip is a cold start.. it was like 30 degrees, car had been running about 20 seconds.. it hits MUCH harder once she warms up and smooths out..

drive it 50 miles a day rain or shine.. love it... get a good tune.

They can continue to meet the need for 400rwhp and a good bit beyond. Many people are running around with H/C 346s with stock injectors, myself included. So long as the car is tuned it'll be fine.
