3.1 Fuel Injectors from Accel?

Has anyone had any experience with the 15lb/hr fuel injectors from Accel? I know these wont support a performance engine but am just working to get the son's project car running and the price is right for a full set of these. If they are a decent product I'd rather go with new rather than re-manufactured injectors. Any input is a big help. Thanks.

Tim

Re: 3.1 Fuel Injectors from Accel?

A few years ago there were complaints about Accel injectors, but they improved their design. I've seen a number of GM user reviews from 2010 on who were very satisfied buying Accel injectors. From what I've heard, I'd be comfortable putting them in the stock engine in my car.

How much are they? I got the Southbay set for about 120 buck and they're performing perfectly. Plug.

As I said, Accels are fine, but, given a choice, I'd go with Southbay.
