Default 30lb injectors w/ bolt-on's

I was messing around on ebay and got a steal on a set of 30lb injectors. Would it be better off just to sell them, or would it benefit me to throw them on when I get my dyno tune? (adding 3600 stall and underdrive pulley)

That set isn't going to benefit your car at all being your stock ones are more than enough for bolt ons.

That's what I thought, only spent $70 on the set, figured I could at least make a little money if anything.

I have pretty strict emissions, didn't feel like taking the chance on failing. I've heard of tunes working and not working.

what is your injector duty cycle? Bolts ons wont need them but if you do a cam swap you may need the extra fuel. Like was mentioned before people use the 28lb injectors on cam swaps and they do ok but I have also seen people post cam swaps on 28lb injectors with 100+ duty cycles. The 30lb ford injectors are really 36lbs at the LS1 fuel pressure. If you have plans on a head and cam swap later keep them. I sent a used set of 30lb injectors as cores for a brand new set of flow matched ones from fuelinjectorconnection and got an awesome deal.

H/C will be coming, but not until next summer. I'm dreading even pulling this tranny for my converter, and I've heard the pulleys can be fun as well. Keepin the project light for the winter.

If you are going to do heads cam you will likely need slightly larger ones. I would sell them.
