Default Most Reliable Injectors????

What are the most reliable fuel injectors for a LT1, i have a guy tuning my car and he said LT1s are notorious for eating injectors, im currently working on getting my heads and intake ported, with a custom cam. My injectors i think are already going out on me because she will start no problem when not ran for a while but if i drive it all day, when i go to start her back up, she just turns over the first time, then ill just turn it to off, and it will start right up the second time.

SVO 30's would do the job, wouldn't hurt to even grab some 36's except for the cost but any lower will not be enough. When I was looking into the Ai 200cc package once, Ron said that my SVO 30's would be a great match.

The bad part is I think they're not going to make the 30lb SVOs anymore in the style conenctor we need or something. Summit lists them as no longer available for some reason.

I've had my SVO30# since 2005---h/c/i mods with no issues. Now, still going strong with NX150 shot, thanks to Speed Inc. for their professional and proper install.

Racetronix sells Delphi/Lucas injectors, from the research I did, they are about the best out there. If you look on the bottom of Racetronix home page they have links to their authorized dealers and you can get them fairly cheap from one of them. I got 32lb for $229 shipped

Ya i talked to Ron, and all i heard from people who buy from him says that he does exceptional work, hes a good guy. I havent really had the time to sit down and talk to someone about all the little parts i need to get for my T/A, im more worried about the big stuff right now, but nothing is getting installed till i have everything. Ill try looking for some 36#ers. Thanks a lot, and if you have anymore info of the way i should go.... im all ears, thanks again

I'll try to put you in the right direction with some of the other stuff you should get for that package:

Rockers: Comp Cams NSA Pro-Mags 1305-16
Studs: ARP 134-7103
Guideplates: TFS-30400623-8
Pushrods: Measure first to get proper length but I recommend Trick Flows
Head Gaskets: I would recommend a Victor Reinz .026" 5898 or GM "Impala" Gasket .028".
Throttle Body: Any 58MM TB with the Basic Ai Manifold Porting or Race Port if you want to spend the extra $. Ron said its only good for a couple horse over the basic job on a setup that you or I would run so your call.
Head Bolts: ARP-3701 if you want the 12pt. head.
Fuel Pump: Racetronix F-Body LT1 Kit.

False. The new body style still has the same connector.

Ohh it does? Guess whoever told me they wouldn't work was wrong.

FMS-M-9593-BB302 is the new style with the same connector right?

"LT1's notorious for eating injectors" ? thats just ignorant!

if he is tuning your car, ask him what the injector duty cycle is, this number will help tell you if you currently have enuf injector or not. he should know this if he is a tuner!

sounds to me like another issue, that may be related to the fuel system!

now all 4th gen f-bodies are notorious for having weak OEM fuel pumps and this becomes very apparent when you start making more power (alot of times at stock power levels also).

you can do an injector leak down test.
a fuel pump leak down test.
and a FPR leak down test.

search for the ways how, i dont feel like typing it out.

a weak fuel pump will do what you are describing!
