Need some help on this one. I am going to be installing a rebuilt and worked on head on the blue car. I am looking at putting new injectors and was looking for opinions from the group. Should I get new 36lbs stock or upgrade to 55lbs? Does brand name matter? Headwork done by Schlodes and should max out the 36lbs when fully tuned. This is pretty much as far as mods I am going to go for now but could change in the near future.
Any Canucks have an extra set they want to get rid off? Anybody down south of me have some?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a tuning method in place NOW to compensate/utilize 55# injectors? If NO, then use the stock-sized 36#ers.
Note: most stock-sized injectors use the extremely fine misting cone spray pattern (which is very good at very low flow rates) while most of the 55+# injectors I've seen are a single center squirt design (Bendix DEKA style). Not so good at very low flow rates so idle quality may suffer. Keep that in mind when tuning for the future.

I will add that if you have not made exhaust changes, you will not realize as much improvement as you think. Stay with the 36#.

Thanks Mike and Tony. No engine management upgrade and no exhaust upgrades. I am wanting a 3 inch downpipe and worked over e6 manifold in the near future.
So I am looking for new 36lbs. Thanks again.
