Default Stock Injectors?

Are the '99 Camaro stock injectors (gray body) worth keeping? What do they flow and if I run an adjustable regulator and jack up the rail pressure, what HP will they support?

Increasing rail pressure on stock injectors is only good if your injectors aren't maxed out. Stock 99 injectors are 26lb/hr @ 58 psi. They will support about 400 at the wheels before duty cycle exceeds 85%.

Depending on your setup, I would look into larger injectors.

I increased the injector size once I began pushing over 400 hp to the crank. Made a difference

i have seen guys have problems with cam only cars making 400whp with stock injectors, but have seen others do fine. it is better to change them, as a lean motor is an exploded motor

Lean is mean...

On a serious note, always best to err on the side of caution and upgrade them.

I am still running the stock injectors. My car put down 370 on a mustang dyno so that might be close to 400 on a dyno jet. I havent had any problems but I am considering changing them.
