I may have a set of low mile injectors off a '00 LS1, would it be worthwhile to put them in my mild bolt-on car?

Only if your stockers are failing and you get the pcm redone for the new injectors. There is no performance increase to be had in aftermarket or larger or any different injector unless the originals are either failing or are too small to feed your current motor with enough fuel. With a bolton car the stock injectors are big enough.

they'd be a choice if you ported your heads or did a cam, or both.

I was under the impression that they were no different form the 94+ injectors. They are rated higher because the LS1 fuel pressure is higher from the factory.

I thought LS1 injectors were something like 28#ers

Although they are rated at 28.5 LBS, it's at 60psi. I bought a set not knowing this and when Napa flowed them they barely flowed more the fuel than my stock 24lb injectors.

Unless you have a heads/cam package, you don't need them.

ok, maybe I'll just sit on them for a set of spares.

Thanks for the replies

they are equall to a 25# injector with our fuel pressure. not worth it at all even with heads and cam or power adders becuase if your maxing out your stock 24#s your going to max out 25#s
