Default Fuel Injectors

Anyone here have upgraded fuel injectors? I was looking at some 42lb injectors and wondered if anyone knew the difference between some of the companies that make them.

Siemens, Ford Racing, Lucas, etc.

Anyone had good/bad experiences with any of them? Any recommendations?

Why do you say that?

I've got other ford racing stuff on my car (gears for instance)....but I was wondering what the big difference would be for something like injectors.

They kinda seem like commodities where you could swap any functioning injector in there just as long as it gave you fuel.

I would not "cheap out" on that, FRPP are good quality so why go with on off brand?

How much hp and tq is 30lb injectors good for? I also heard you can squeeze out more fuel by raising the fuel pressure. Second if you get a car tuned for 30lb injectors would you need a total return for 42lb? or would you just need to adjust one thing in the tune?

All of the injectors named above are good quality injectors. The order IMO from best to worst would be RC, Siemens, ford racing.

You have to remember that most injectors with brand names are generally just relabled, i believe ford injectors are really bosch but im not positive.
