Injector help...1300s or 1600s?

are 1300s big enough with the stock primaries to run lets say 15psi? If so, at what point would you need to move to 1600s? I remember hearing about problems with the 1600s, something about tuning or something. And why are the 1300s so much more expensive? $330 versus $99???

With the 1600's you need a new fuel rail. 1300's would be perfectly fine with the stock twins at 15 psi.

I have read among the threads here that the 1300's seem to fail as the 1600's are good because they are a new injector and not milled from the stock secondaries as the 1300's are. Just make sure you have something to control that extra fuel you are putting in.

There are a ton of threads out there on this. Do a search and read up. I have done my fuel system 3 times now and have spent way more money than I wanted to. Dont take the first piece of advice you get - take some time. What are your RWHP goals? Ever going single? You doing the entire fuel system? Are you planning on tapping the fuel rails? Stainless lines? What pump or pumps? Plan on getting a datalogit? 6AN or 8AN? Parallel or series?

Good luck,

Shawn
