Default Injector ? for stockish build

THe car is a cam only build, with a stall and the car will be sprayed with upto a 150 shot. IF the car can take it,lol. Either way what injectors are recommended on a build like this.

Its a LE1 cam. FUll exhuast and cai, otherwise stock.

Wet kit!

use the poll above and/or answer below.

Give a reason to why that injector you chose would benefit better.

You need more information to give a decent answer. What cam? What is the expected HP and RPM?

You want an injector to be sufficient size to keep the DC below 85% but not too large.

Why is size a concern ? First the obvious is expense, and idle quality. If you run a large injector the idle tends to require a short open duration. This is a trade off but if you have a larger injector than needed you pay the idle quality with no real pay off.

Some will say yes but I will be able to grow...and that is why most have setups that are never right but might be IF someday they change the setup.

I prefer to setup what I have rather than what could maybe someday be...

Your choice good luck

30# SVO or stock (as long as DC doesn't get too high) then

smaller injectors are easier to tune and make more power than an oversized one. unless you have plans to upgrade some more stuff in the near future there's no reason to get a big injector

With a wet kit you don't need larger injectors like you would if you went dry so I would stick with your stock 24's. The 24's should be sufficient for your cam-only setup so IMO spending money on larger injectors would just be a waste.
