Fuel Injectors

I am replacing my 305 with a 350 with my old TPI set up, i have the old 19lb fuel injectors but want to replace them. I saw in the Summit Racing catalog some ACCEL fuel injectors 30lbs for $249.95 for a set of 8. Is this any good? If i got them would i suffer in gas mileage since they are 30lbs VS. like 22lbs? Any info would be great! Thanks!

I wouldn't go with the 30s unless you're really going to need them. But then again, you didn't say what you planned to do to your 350

i have the 30 lb injectors...and when i bought them i had major upgrade that were coming very soon....but that kind of went down the drain.....

anyway, i have'nt had any probs with them...car runs great and i didn't suffer any less gas milelage and my car does NOT run rich...alll this with a stock chip, but what not everyone will tell you is that i did make sure my car was getting more air too. anyhow..i would recommend something smaller, unless you really are planning on building a beast...i would say if u really want to upgrade, move to a 24 lb at MOST and they are cheaper...p/n ACC-150824 229.95


just my 2 cents

Not for 1 second are you gonna claim to not run rich with 30# injectors and stock programming. That is physically impossible. I have been researching PROM burning for a while now and can rest assured that if I am running my 22# injectors rich at idle on my motor then you are running your 30# injectors rich also.

There is a reason for the field to set the injector constant in the PROM. Its not just to look at. Your Cats are probably on overdrive trying to filter all that excess fuel.
