Default Will stock injector work on a 382 Stroker?

Are the stock injectors big enough for a 382 stroker? With all the bolt ons heads and X1-cam.

if you have a 02 (isn't that when they went back to larger injectors?) or before they went smaller, then yes.

hell, 01 or 02 they went back to larger injectors...

I`m getting MTI S2 heads and X1 cam on mt LS1, I`m putting 30lb injectors because I`m going to run a 100 shot. The stock injectors are 28lb on my 2001 WS6. They can handle around (450RWHP Safely) anymore and you are pushing it. Better to be safe than sorry, also I`m getting a T-Rex fuel pump. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

With a 382ci stroker I would at least run a 30lb injector. Sure a 98 injector can be maxed out to handle it, but at what, 110% duty cycle? You are not supposed to run injectors at full duty cycle they get overworked and HOT.

I'm probably wrong on this as it looks like ak motorsports has more exact numbers, but I thought I had read a while back (in late 1999 maybe) that the 98's had 24# injectors and the 99's had 22# injectors.

Don't know about the 00's and later.

But like I said, I'm probably wrong...

I've still got the stock 2000 injectors in the 382 but I'm built mild and the car is purely a street toy without any aspirations of being the big dog on the block. Enjoying the instant torque in day in day out use is a pleasure. Could depend on how far you intend to go.

Is there any other way of telling what lbs the injectors are like a # on them or something?
