Default 42lb injectors

Am going to install my gt-40 intake 70 mm TB, 80 mm mam and 42lb injectors this weekend! I have the 8-10lb vortech. I know I have asked before but am a little worried about the injectors being to big? I am eventually going to get heads and cam but probably not for another year! Any reassurance would help! haha

Thanks in asvance!

ive never heard that. Since you have to get a MAF to match I'd go with the 42lbers

Thanks they are already on there way! I ordered a 80 mm MAM to go with! I have been tying to look on the web to see if there is any info on it! Thanks for the help.


Anyone else heard this?

get the MAF calibrated to the 42lb injectors and you may wanna invest in a wideband to monitor air to fuel ratio... as well as a serious dyno tune to dial your setup in ...jmo

Im running 42's No problems here.

Your going to need some tunning for sure though. Dont go into boost without tune believe me.
