Stock injectors with a hotcam? Really? Do you know what your max duty cycle is with that setup? Not arguing, just curious I just thought it was a must to upgrade injectors.

honestly I do not. I never datalogged it. Brian @ PCMforless did it. I could email him and ask him if he has a idea.

from what I ahve read it is recommended but not required but with mine that have 160k mile son them it would probably be a good idea to do it.

I have a set of stock ones with like 70k on if your interested.

Stock injectors ( 94-97 are 24lb injectors - and as long as the fuel system is in good shape ) will support 325-350HP N/A with no problem. We've done big cams ( GM847 / 306 / LE3 cams ) to make around 375HP before we seem any issues with duty cycles getting too high. Even upgrading the fuel pump will get you near 400HP before we needed to switch to 30/36 LB injectors.

A hot cam and bolt on won't gert you near 350. 310-320HP most likely.

If you go with a power adder then you want to go bigger as you need more fuel to make sure you never go lean.

alright i'm ready to throw down some cash on some headers and I am looking at these here
what are your thoughts?
I am hoping these are mids but summit doesn't have any thing listed as a mid.

LTb1ow 10-12-2008 09:50 PM

Geez, those are mighty expensive shorties.

sweetbmxrider 10-12-2008 09:55 PM

look at mac mids. they are usually on ebay for a decent buck. with headers you will want to do the motor mounts and you need your cat welded to the new y-pipe. also there are the check valves for the air tubes and the egr to worry about. fyi!

I can't find anything that says mids I spent the past week looking,
so I should do the motor mounts and trans mounts when I do the headers?

I have yet to find anything under 400.00 for coated and new.

LTb1ow 10-13-2008 12:09 PM

Yea, but you know you want some LTs..... and yes, do motor mounts and tranny mount or you will kick yourself repeatedly when you have to crawl under there again to switch em out.

Saitin 10-13-2008 12:39 PM

I know I want Lt's lol but I want to be able to pass NJ emissions as well.
on the other hand inspection is good till 2010 so I might say to hell with it and deal with it then.
I was browsing and can't really find any mid's do you mind posting a link or 2 please.
If not I might jsut take some hooker LT's, I want to get these ordered/payed for by friday this week as I now have 2 paychecks saved from my designated mod the firebird job lol

here's a used set for $220.

(94-95 headers are the same ).

Saitin 10-13-2008 03:20 PM

thanks pamp I dropped him a pm

sweetbmxrider 10-13-2008 03:39 PM

ebay usually has listings for mac mids too.

NastyEllEssWon 10-16-2008 02:54 AM

if you want to stay emission legal get the edlebrock. if you get the long tubes and block off the egr and delete all the air injection and emissions crap youll end up gaining more in the long run. 2010 is a nice sticker. i would do the mods and not worry about emissions. sell the car before the time comes and get an lsx. theyll be like 3500 by then :mrgreen:
