if you are preparing for future work, id go ahead and get them out of the way. i bought a built trans, bellhousing, and twin disk clutch, and everyone tells me i dont need it, but for where i going id rather over build things ahead of time then deal with problems that arise later. i dont see why you shouldnt go ahead and get them IMO, especially if you are getting any kind of deal on them.

IF your getting a deal on them, get them otherwise keep em stock. PUt money elsewhere. Future planning is always good but if money is tight do what you need now.

They will do nothing for you as of now since you have zero supporting mods. As they have said save your money now and get a set when you do the H/C setup. Injectors can be real tricky to fine tune on a H/C car and on your's being a 93 is a real pain since you have to burn new proms every time you make a change. BTW - As to the flw hp you asked, some say the rule of thumb is take your anticipated flywheel hp and multiply by .07 and that will give you the injector size you need. Lloyd Elliot told me as well in his experience SVO 30's are good to 450ish flwhp.
