Z,

When my 305 is finally warmed and idling at a normal hot idle, it is quiet enough to be able to hear the stock injectors clicking. I can even hear them from inside the car if I listen carefully. They are freshly cleaned and matched, and the car runs better than new. I can hear the RP injectors on my LT1 as well, but they are not quite as loud. I had a TBI that had really noisy injectors, and it was like that from the first day (7 miles on the odometer).

I've always thought it was pretty normal.
