Will stock injectors cut it with a hotcam kit? A friend of mine blew an lt1 in his 96 a-4. We are doing the work at the shop for him. We got a crate lt1 from the general and the hotcam kit. He wanted a big cam but I wanted something I could turn him loose with and not have to worry about a warranty biting me in the ***. They gave us a fairly decent deal since we got everything from our delco wholesaler. Any how. It has a set of mac mids with cats full exhaust, 3:42's asp pulley all of the normal boltons. Ion will be getting the pcm after it's done but before we send it off With the hotcam kit will the fueling be running lean in the upper rpm ranges with the stock injectors. It has an adjpr but I have it set at stock pressure setting for now. I know I can set the rail pressure up but I do not want to mask potential problem by compensating for it elsewhere. I want to know about the injectors so ion can set the parameters for them. Last but not least if we changed the injectors, and went with a 52 mm tb what kind of hp increase if any can you achieve from these two additions. It has a 3 yr 100k mile warranty and other than oil changes once it leaves I don't want to see it.

Don't know if this helps, but here's a sheet w/ my A/F ratio on it. This is with stock tuning on a Hotcam, no headers.
