A properly remmanufactured set of injectors theoretically flows as good if not better (since the set is flowmatched) than stock. These guys paint the injectors because they are white from the factory and often becomme very discolored and would probably get just as many complaints if they sent them out that way. I just plain out got screwed by a company who I thought was reputable and would send me injectors that would perform as new. Its not that difficult to understand... remanufactured injectors are sold by almost all fuel vendors on this site.

I would have appreciated it if you would have let me work this out with the vendor first

The owner of ZZP posts on ClubGP all the time, he is not always the one who answers emails for issues. We've had to pop threads up on the forum from time to time to get his attention, he usually fixes it Ricky Tick.

zzp doesnt seem go give a rat's azz these days. it'll be 2 weeks before you get a 4 word response back that doesnt explain or answer jack. i dont deal with them anymore if i can handle it. and i have spent 20k+ there over the course of my turbo regal, nic'd gtp, and 2.55 xp'd gen v setup, along with countless dollars of my customers i sent there. never again. they are going downhill big time and zoomer is still somehow on his high horse "were #1 and always will be because we run this ****"...

Well good news, I made 435rwhp @ 6600 rpm today... there's another easy 15hp on the table once I get my sub 10.0 AFR issue sorted out! Not bad for a budget H/C cobo

My e-mail was apparently forwarded to Zoomer and e-mailed me back. I will be sending back the injectors for 'inspection'.

Funny thing is everybody jump into the thread on ClubGP but the vendor had nothing to say.

Wow there's a lot of bright guys over there who apparently don't understand the relationship b/t fuel pressure and flow rate . I'm going to sign up for an account to clear things up... I really wish you guys wouldn't have posted the thread there befor I got a chance to work things out w/the vendor.

FYI....That car did break the starter off along with the corner of the engine block, the week before the connecting rod bent.

I've been a member on ClubGP since 2000 but haven't logged in for years. Clearly a lot of guys over there are sucking Zoomers *****.

best to ignore clubgp, honestly. they just like to complain and look at ****. sounds like zzp will offer you a refund or replacement, which in my book is sufficient enough
