why 750cc injectors? Aren't you going for a light set-up?

where do you want to go? Alle the answers usually are in the target you have. I don't know much about injectors and their duty cycles but with a light set up you might not max'em out.

Send me your throttle body to port/polish. It'll add some spunk to the car.

for anything over 300-rwhp you want larger than stock injectors.

What fuel pump did you get?

I don't know if you picked up injectors yet, but look into KG Parts.

I had my 2 480's upflowed to 880's and the 2 280 cleaned for close to $100.
Much better deal than spending $120-$170 for a single injector.

Yes they are good but be careful of the fuel rails. On occasion they've been known not to fit the advertised application.

You blew the motor before the turbo was installed? What happened?
