Might as well get injectors...right?
Might as well get injectors...right? So I have a cam waiting to be installed. It's a 232/231 .612/.588 on a 111+4. I am staying on the stock heads for the time being but eventually want to get some different heads. I know I have the 26#'s stock in my car. My question is, should I stay with my injectors for now, find some 28#'s out of a 98,01-02 car for cheap, or buy some others since I am going to be upgrading the heads eventually? I can get some 30# SVO red tops for $150 that only have 4k miles on them. Should I take that deal? They should be good for a H/C car that will probably be getting a wet shot as well right? I really don't want to spend a ton of money on injectors right now if I don't have to. Any and all opinions are welcome. Thanks.

My car was running at over 90% duty cycle with the 28lb/hr injectors on a Comp 222/224 cam, so if you go to the cam you've specified, you'll definitely need larger injectors. Will the SVO 30's give you the required headroom? I went to 36lb/hr in mine when I put the heads on. At full noise, they're at around 68% now.

Keep in mind that Ford injectors are rated at a lower psi than GM. 30# Fords will be around 35# GM. There is some information floating around that will give you the exact figures.
Yeah I heard that they will flow like 35-36#'s on our cars. I got some pictures of them and they really don't look like they only have 4k on them. But, the dude said the o-rings are good and that they work fine. Might as well pick them up.

Yeah, SVO 30s flow like 36 lbs on LS1s. My duty cycle for H/C was maxing out at roughly 83%. My tuner said the Red Tops will support up to 475 RWHP N/A. That's a hell of a deal on the ones above. Definitely jump on them.
