Questions about the new Accel fuel injectors that cost about $230.

These are the brand new ones Accel came out with that cost half as much as the older style. I was thinking of picking up the 24lb/hr since they don't make a 22lb/hr set instead of getting my stock one's cleaned. Now I know that L98 injectors are 22lb/hr assuming that these Accel injectors are rated at the same pressure as the stock GM injectors, if someone knows that they are rated at a different pressure please speak up, what will I have to reduce my fuel pressure to so I don't run rich.

Glenn91L98GTA if you reply to this post, I know that you always recommend buring my own prom but I tried reading up on all this prom stuff and it is way to confusing....

I dont know about the accell injectors for sure but my car doesn't run rich at all with the ford 24lb./hr. injectors. And my car is almost 100% stock. I've got a 91 z-28 L98.

I'm gonna have to side with Glenn here (when he replies! hehe), because you will need one in order to make the car run correctly. Mr. evilho7810 you "think" it doesn't run rich, but 24# Ford SVOs are like having 27# GM style injectors in there. IT WILL run rich, especially at idle. It would be best to have someone at least make you a chip where the injector constant will be altered from 22. If not your car will run fine, you just wont see any improvements or power gains.
