Re: Injector question
 
I have customers (shops) with the bench top injector cleaners/flow testers that have found over 5% variation in sets of those, and a lot of failures. Some just quit working and sticking open. Accel used to have the same issues with their solid yellow injectors before changing to Bosch a few years ago. Their Bosch injectors have yellow tops, and bare steel bottoms.

I have had that much variation in the Ford Racing injectors. That is why I have flowed mine and put together matched sets.

I've never seen another brand vary that much. Most are within 1 % or so.
Creitz Automotive here in Tulsa clean and flow mine each winter. Bosch are usually closer than others. Ford has changed to Bosch IIs, they look like LS1 injectors now. Accel injectors are the Ford Racing-style now. Just don't have the different color tops to tell the flow rate. Red top Fords were 30 lbs. light blue=24 lbs, etc. I'm using FAST injectors (Bosch) now.
I was not aware you had Venoms in your car.

We all know Kyle has a fast car, so they can't be too bad.

Think he lucked out and got a good set. Hard to tune a car via email when not one injector of the 8 flow what they are supposed to, or flow the same. Seen that too many times.

Just a heads up for guys looking for 30LB Ford Red top injectors on Ebay. There is a clown from PA (I will try and find the name of the town if I can and post later he changes his screen name alot so its of no use) who regularly has a set for sale. He claims he bought them for his mustang and "changed directions with his build" The junk he sends you is just that used junk and from talking to others alot of times are not even Ford Motorsport injectors. Took me forever to get it straightened out with Ebay and Paypal. Hopefully this will save someone a headache.

Michael, I always scribe the cylinder number in each injector, and always keep them in the same cylinder.
