These are the saturated, high resistance injectors correct ?

The stock injectors are pretty much maxed out with the E-manage. The E-manage adjusts the pulse width of the injector and basically hold them open longer to add more fuel to each combustion within the cylinder. Adding larger injectors will allow for more fuel to be delivered without maxing out the injector.

errrr something like that

It would aid in even running lower and safer fuel pressures.

It is not absolutely needed as there was a little left in my car with the stock injectors. But it does open the door to future upgrades.

unless you plan on opening up the motor and doing some internal upgrades I would not even bother going with bigger injectors.

But without lowering the CR the full benefits would not be realized.

Unfortunately for me my injectors are only good to about 7/8 throttle(-or+). It goes lean after 7lbs. of full throttle. It might of been fine with 7-8.5 lbs of boost but this car does hit 10 lbs. So we'll see. Maybe with proper tuning of the new ones and every thing else 360-370 at the wheels??

I was just reading on another post were sgmotoring installed new injectors but he had a hard go of it. Does any one know what obstacles he encountered when he tried it? I did a search but all that came up was a reference to him having a hard time doing the install. I'm hoping that this just a "dremmel" operation?? That is the impression that RC gives as well.

He had to also swap in new connectors. But that was about it for the installation other than the grinding required.

He had some cold start issues but that should be irrelevant for you as yours will be tuned for the larger squirters. At the time, he had no fuel management.

That is welcome news for us. These injectors do come with new connectors as well. I just talked with Jason and he did say that RC just instructed us to grind down the area on the fuel rail. RC said that it was a non-essential part of the rail.
Thanks once again Steve.
