injector noise, and ways to quiet it
a few random quick questions for those who have experience with lots of various injectors:
1) who makes the quietest injectors? i.e. the least amount of mechanical "click-click-click" that you hear at idle.
2) are there any good/effective ways (perhaps something borrowed from another GM car?) of quieting the injectors down, or at least killing the noise off a bit?
3) is there any strategies available in the '730 (I think the answer is no, but asking anyways) that could be used to fire the injectors in banks instead of batch, so that you woudln't have 8 open and 8 close events all happening simultaneously (thus quieting things down)? Net "open" time per revolution would be the same, you'd just have the open and close events offset or staged.
I'm running LT1 injectors. They aren't obnoxious loud by any means, but they are certainly "there" and audible, and worth quieting down if it can be done.

The only other option I know of is leaving one of the battery cables off.
Maybe more time, listening to the wife/ gal pal, and getting used to shutting off, misc noises?....
I *think* some people are just sensitive to clicking, other then maybe trying disc injectors, you're gonna be out of luck, as far as I can see.
