Accel injectors

I am considering that I might need new injectors. My 87 GTA is basically a stock L98, so I don't need big-flow injectors. I was snooping around and found that Jegs and Summitt both sell the Accel injectors for a good price ($230/set).

Does anyone have any experience with these particular injectors? Or can you recommend good ones? I am on a fairly tight budget, so the price of the Accels appeals to me.

Thanks

This questions been asked a million times...Some will tell you Accel is junk and others will not. I did not like mine so i switched to Ford SVO's. They are a little cheaper. Some people wont burn proms if you have Accel injectors. Do a search and decide for yourself.

I bought a set of Accel 24# injectors and I either haven't put enough miles onto them, ie, 300, or I don't know what I'm looking for. Educate me.

I didn't reprogram either from a 305 chip, but, the car does run better, but still have low idle speed and no fast idle when cold, same as before injector changeout.

Yes, ECM has been replaced, new chip, and new IAC. Base rpm set, intial timing at 6* BTDC, IAC connector has good continuity to ECM and has signals to control IAC. Vacuum gauge shows 20 in/Hg.

I appreciate any suggestions.........
