Default What size injectors?

I need some help in picking the correct size injectors for my build. 02 WS6, 6 speed, long tubes, true dual exhaust and will be adding AFR 205 62cc heads and the F14 112 LSA cam. Thanks for the help guys.

We sell some of the racetronix 37lb injectors. They would hold this set up pretty easily and only come in at $320.00 for 8.

Would it benefit me going with the green tops if I plan to spray latter on? Also, do I need different injectors with the head and cam swap?

Yes If you planed on doing a dry kit later the greentops would be better. If you plan on sticking with NA and are done modding Id just get some redtops.

FYI the Greentops flow about 48#'s at our fuel pressue and are good to over 600rwhp on our cars.... I have the bosch design III 42#'s (48# bar 4) and they work super on my mild car and I have plenty of room to grow... Got a pretty good deal on 'em in here....

Really though some Redtops should be plenty for you and can be had on here in the $125 range....

The greentops don't have good low pulse width characteristics. Your ECM will be working hard to keep them in line at idle and cruise. They are cheap but I don't recommend them unless you really need something that big.

With that said, I'll be happy to sell you mine... :-)
