LE2 H/C Question

hey guys i have a stock rebuilt 355 LT1 with stock internals. i was wondering on a heads and cam package like the LE2 would i have to use bigger injectors? is it really necessary? i know i have to do all the bolt ons but i just was wondering if i HAD to go bigger. this is going into a 94Z A4 Camaro.

Some 30lb injectors should be fine unless you plan on sprayin.

on a N/A 355 you shouldn't have to upgrade injectors. just make sure the fuel system itself is in good shape(pump, filter, regulator and injectors). i know of a guy who took a 93 Z, stroked it to a 383 and put the stock heads untouched and 19pph injectors and it worked fine. the car sounded great. 94'Z's and up have 24pph injectors...you should be fine

Stay away from accel. Either way you look at it, you need bigger injectors for your head/cam combo, go get some Racetronix 36'ers and be done with it 300 bones

Um...

I strongly disagree. It may have worked for your friend's 383, but an LE2 package needs SVO 30's at a minimum. Of course unless you want to run a significantly higher fuel pressure than factory to bandaid your injectors being undersize for the application.

On Lloyd's site, for that combo he recommends 30-36# injectors.

And his car is probably another 13 second 383 LT1....

You need to step up to at least 30lb/hr injectors. That's what I'm running.

I ran my LE2 heads with the stock injectors for a few weeks.. Swapped them out for some used 30# SVO injectors and really noticed a difference at higher rpm's. Unfortunately I don't have any datamaster runs before or after showing the difference in injector duty cycles at higher rpms..

Direct from them is the best I found, $280ish:

At 37#/h you have a little room to grow, and from what I read the Delphi/Lucas style has a good pattern and is resistant to fouling. Good luck.
