Default Ease of tuning Delphi 38#r's

Hey guys, got a friend of mine who wants to sell me a set of 38# Delphi injectors out of his ATI procharger kit. He just upgraded to the 42# injectors. Any opinions on the ease of tuning these? Or is there a better injector I'm better off with. He mentioned they were the type that come in the GTP's. I'm using them for my n/a setup with a small shot of gas.
Part # is:

#0 280 155 868

Thanks in advance.

Dougie

I believe the GTP injectors 38# are AC Delco # 24508208. FWIW.

Thanks Bink. These are part number #0 280 155 868. At least that's what is stamped out on the injector. I googled them and they came up as Bosch 38lbs'rs

42lb Delphis in mine and she tuned out fine. As long as you need the pulse width, shouldn't be a problem.

You're welcome. I have the GTPs - I read the part # off the Delco box ( saved the box for the stock injectors).

Okay, I did a little investigating.
I was wrong above and edited the info. Sorry.

The GTPs are 38 lb/hr at the GTP fuel pressure of 52 psi. This makes them 40 lb/hr at our 58 psi rail pressure. I then checked this against GM's 2000 ASA tune, Injector Flow Rate table, and the values between 100 kPa and 20 kPa are nearly identical.

I was told previously that these injectors are made by Bosch for AC Delco.

Mine are white body injectors.

FWIW.
