Suburban Injectors ?

This one's a post for KZad, he's w/o a computer for a while:

He has used '94 350 TBI Suburban injectors sitting around in his garage from when his father swapped them out. Since it's not hard at all to swap, would there be any benefit to swapping them out on his almost stock car? It's a 305 TBI (Manual) Formula with an air intake.

No. Installing the larger injectors on a stock engine will just make it run rich everywhere.

Just turn up the pressure on the stock injectors and they'll flow plenty for even a 250hp lo3. The GM injectors can handle a good amount of pressure and just a slight change in fuel pressure is like changing the jets on a carb. The stock injectors on 305's are 40#, 350 is 55# and cop car in the early 90's had 65#.
