Default Do I need injectors

I have all the bolt ons, I mean all... Including EWP, Underdrive pulley, FAST 90/90, H/C, and etc. Will I need 30 lbs. fuel injectors or are they a waste of my money???

Will you need?? What are your plans.......any more to the engine? IMO when you move up to a heads and cam mod, to move your fuel system to that next plain you should at least upgrade your injectors and if possible do an aftermarket plug and play fuel system upgrade. Back to your specific question, right now w/just bolt-ons no.

sorry I wasn't descriptive; I do have PRC 200cc Terminator heads and TSP 228R cam, EWP, UDP, FAST 90/90, and all other bolt ons. I was going to upgrade to 30lbs fuel injectors are they not enough?

You'll need to check out your injector duty cycle to be sure. I'd say SVO 30 lb-ers at a minimum.

Do it, at least the 30's.......... I'd go for 42's personally. A stock engine with bolt on's and a tune max's out (100% +) the stockers.

before you have it tuned for bigger injectors like 42lbers it will run very rich but after a tune you won't know they are in there,they will work great
i would try to have the tuner put them in for you if you don't have a trailer to take it to get tuned unless you are tuning it yourself.

I have a set of 32# Delphi injectors. They only have 500 miles on them, they actually came off my dad's car,he's putting his car back to stock. Make me a reasonable offer. I have the same injectors on my F14/Dart 205 setup, they work perfect.

I have 38# lucas injectors sitting in my garage because I thought that I would need them with my cam only setup (big cam). I took them with me to get the car tuned and the stock injectors were not maxed out yet. Depending on what heads and cam you are running will play a factor in if you need more injectors. Have you looked into getting a new fuel pump too?
