Umm...okay?!? I looked it up to try and help out people because they were fighting over what weighed what. Sorry for trying to look up info and pass it on, regardless if you believe it or not.

Anyone else see the 19# injectors in the description? Those can't be helping. Unless I'm totally underestimating the stock injectors.

Yeah, those injectors are really only good for stock cars, and those with minor bolt-ons. My '01 GT, with it's moderate amount of bolt-ons, might even benefit from switching to 24lb injectors, and getting a good tune.

He needs to chunk those 19 lb. injectors. In that kind of setup I have always ran 26-30 lb. injectors. Nice race though.

hes getting some bigger injectors in here soon. Also, we found out that his plugs were oil fouled (he had the wrong dipstick in the car when he changed oil and put 2 quarts in too many....... he had some problems) he is going to switch out the plugs and we will run agian, Im interested to see if that affected it at all

It's easy yes, but most people still can't drive worth a ****. That's how you see Z28 6spds running 14s, and '03-04 Cobras running mid 13s when you go to the track sometimes. Kinda pitiful, IMO.
