I'm running a stock rejetted true 42lb injector. An SVO green top 42 is actually like 48 at our pressure. I can say this, at WOT and at my shift point the injector is at 65%. It is perfect for a 100 dry shot It's too much for the current setup (cam/boltons) though IMO because idle quality suffers and is difficult to tune.

I got some SVO green tops in mine & I didnt think it was hard at all to tune with them. After installing some better heads all I did was rescale the injector table & the car fired right up, idled & ran perfect. I was really impressed. I just had to lean out the AFR a lil as it was slightly rich (11.7) to a 12.7. My idle quality is great & so is the fuel mileage, depending on how heavy the right foot gets

Thanks for all the responses and ideas. And Sick, hope you get your issues handled as well. From all the research and after talking with other LS1 owners, the car should be in the 11s. I am having the tune gone through front to back, and hopefully can find out what is wrong.
