I have a 92Corvette with a stroked LT1 to 383. It has LT4 heads and a Comp cam. Headers and a larger throttle from BBK. What is the right size injectors for my car. It hesitates when I hit the gas to the floor. It runs fine any other time.
I’m rebuilding my 1986 350 c.i. with a mild roller cam, long tube headers, 58mm valve body, Hypertech chip and a D1 ProCharger Super Charger that will make about 9 lbs. of boost. I’m looking at about 500 peak HP. According to the formula that would require 41 LBS./HR injectors. However most of the driving I’ll be doing will be mostly joy riding with maybe a little street race every once in a while. My question is can I run the 30 LBS/HR Accel injectors since most of my driving will not be using the 500 HP of the engine?
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Sirs or Manms,
I have after-market injectors in my 1996 LT-4 Corvette with the following part number on them: A2316 17089225 please tell me what the brand in and what is the pounds of flow?
what size fuel injectors do i need for my stock 85 corvette and if 24 pound injectors will work?
Yes, 24lb injectors should work, that is what the stock injectors were.
Do i put 22 pound injectors in my 1992 corvette or 24 what is stock?
Stock for a 92 would be 22lb/hr.
I’m looking for a set of eight fuel injectors under $250.00 actually I would like to get the Bosch 11/22lb tpi and this is for a 1986 Chevy Corvette Indianapolis 500pace car one more thing I do not want remanufacture the eight injectors (must be new)
What would happen if i put 24lb injectors in my car ? It’s a 1992 with the lt1 even if the size chart says 22lb
Per the 1997-98 fuel injector with 350 hp,the car is a 1998 corvette.
Your chart states 28 pounds, your formula comes out at 24 pounds.
Which is correct, and why ?
Thanks, James
James , if you haven’t received an answer, I understand that the ’97-’98 “345 hp” factory rating for those engines was lower than the “actual” engine hp. From the many dyno charts and info I’ve seen for these motors the actual hp was typically somewhere in the 390-400 hp range. Similarly, the factory “405 hp” rating for the C5 Z06 cars was again less than the engine’s actual hp (typically around 420 hp).
I’m building a 2003 Chevy 6.0 out of a an Express. It’s not stock, the list is; LSXr 102 MM with matching throttle body, stock 317 heads, Wiseco flat top pistons with valve relief, Comp Cam .637 Intake .615 exhaust 111° lobe separation. My questions are horsepower and torque and what size injectors to use..
Thanks in advance Aaron.
I’d recommend getting together with a local performance shop, there are plenty that specialize in LS engine builds that will have a good idea of how much power to expect, as well as how to feed it.
Will 93 ZR1 injectors work in my 90 ZR1
No, it would not.
Thank You,

In reference to target peak HP…. is that at the crank or at the wheels? Asking for the obvious dyno numbers as opposed to figuring the possible crank power.
what is stock size injector on 2000 ls1
The 1999-2000 LS-1’s used a 26lb injector.
Will increasing the fuel injector size alone improve performance and add hp to my 1985 TPI Vette or does it require other significant modifications? (i.e: bigger cam, headers, pistons, valves, etc.)
No, more fuel needs more air for example to produce more power. So without any other modifications it’ll make your engine run worse especially on a stock tune.
Will item numbers 353170 (front) injector, 353202 (rear) injector and 353253 injector screen fit a 1984 corvette?
Yes, as advertised in the listings.
Would LS3 injectors work in my LS2?
The LS3 injector is shorter in length compared to a LS2 injector. FAST offers a injector spacer/extension kit “146025-KIT” that will allow for LS3/LS7 injectors to fit the LS2 intake. Your LS2 fuel rails will work correctly so all you need is the spacers and O-rings that are included.
What size fuel injectors do I need for 1996 lt-4 WITH MANUAL TRANS? What kind do you recommend?
Assuming your LT-4 is stock we recommend you stay with a factory sized injector. CC # 354175 https://https://www.corvettecentral.com/search?CurrentSearchCategoryId=&q=354175
