Stock '03 Cobra 39# injectors. You have to use a EV1 to EV6 injector harness adapter to use them. But they work great so far, got them NIB.

Lucas injectors here...no problems out of them. Dont think you can go wrong just dont get knock-offs. Get a good brand and you should be set.

I would find a set of used bosch design 3 36lb units. The 3800 supercharged cars have 36lb units, that can be had for cheap. also they are the ev1 conector, which is what you want. If you look on ebay you can pick them up for 100-150 for a complete set of 8. Thats cleaned and tested too!( I think the gxp had these injectors also)
The corvettes and cobras run the bosch 3, but they have the ev6 connector, so you would have to get ev1 to ev6 pigtails.
Fyi Bosch manufactured the popular svo ford injector, which are killer injectors, but they are old technology
(design 2). The bosch 3 has replaced that design and is still widely used in many of ford and gm cars.

*I would not run lucas, accel or any othr type of disk injector! These injectors work ok, but if you compare these injectors on a flow bench, the bosch 3 walk all over them. The lucas injectors spray a stream of fuel like a fire hose, while the bosch 3 sprays a fine conical mist at about any fuel pressure you run it at! I will try to find the vid and post it for ya!

Ford Motorsports (most of us just call them SVO even if they're not really SVOs) 24#. Ford runs @ 39psi, so you can add about 1.4# to what ever size you get for their injectors. So mine is actually 25#+. So make sure you tune accordingly.

Oh, and don't run really big injectors w/o a tune! A few #s over the size you're tuned for is OK for a short while, but like going from stock (24#) to 32#, you'll be dumping into much fuel and cause 'ring wash' which can ruin your motor.
