I am about to order my injectors now, can anyone reccomend a brand that they have had good luck with or one that is better than the other in you oppinion. I think the approx size I will need will be a 36lbhr injector. Thanks for your help.

Determining the proper flow rate for injectors would require that we know the engine displacement, fuel system used, intended RPM and power output, and any substantial modifications done that alter the vehicle from stock condition.

Sorry I was looking for BRAND NAME or type of injectors that you think would be of good quality for a good price, any experiances that you may have had with a brand that was junk, or was one of the best bangs for the buck and had good customer service. Thanks for your help.

From memory, it seems that some people have experienced problems with Accel injectors.

Please do a search.

When you do a search, you will find out that several of us (including me) recommend the FMS (Ford Racing or Ford Motor Sports) fuel injectors. They can be purchase from Summit Racing for a very reasonable price.

O.K. I did a little more looking around and have decided to get the Ford Motor Sport injectors, now I have a new question. How important is it to have a matched set? does it make that much difference? and is it worth the extra money for a street car/ weekend drag car? And what kind of HP/TQ percentage gaines would they be good for? It seems that that is the brand that everyone seems to think is the best deal, if anyone has any other sugestions about brands please let me know. Thanks for your help.

The injectors should be matched!! That's why a lot of people including me have them flow tested and blueprinted so that each injector flows the same.
I just bought a set of new Bosch D9B 22lb. injectors from fiveomotorsport.com, paid under $300.00 with tax and shipping.
They are not a direct replacement for the OEM Bosch injectors, they don't require the clip and they're 2 mm shorter. Seem to work great, have had no problems with them so far.
