Fuel Injectors

StockerRook · 01-10-2012, 04:44 PM

Guys and Gals,
I am about to purchase a set of injectors for my LT1 stocker motor. I think I know what lb. to get but I had a question if one brand is prefered over the other (ie. Bosch, Accel, Holley, etc..). Is there anything I should consider prior to purchase. Thanks for any help.

Bosch. ACCEL injectors are made by Bosch now. Avoid cheap crap like Venom, etc. 30 lb is plenty big enough. I would use 24 lb at 60 psi if it were me.

I bought Accel 24 lb injectors when I put my LT-1 together. I ran it at 55 lbs. fuel pressure.

The present owner has bigger injectors in it. I really don't think they are needed.....30lb'er's sound about right from the info I was able to gather from my data logger....

I had no probelm with the Accel's and had an Accel Gen VII ecu and data logger....and they are still in the car now....

As dumb as it sounds, the ford motorsports ones are good, and if you thumb through a mustang magazine, you can usually find them pretty cheap.

It isn't dumb. They are the ones we prefer and run.

Ford Racing (Ford Motorsports) has injectors available in 24-30-32-34-39-47-60-80 lb versions. They are USCAR connectors other than the 30 lb which are Jetronic/Minitmer. They also sell adapter kits to convert the connectors. All that I have looked at are either Bosch or Seimans.

The Ford Motorsports injectors are Bosch. Just another place to buy them.
