New fuel injectors- recomendations?

[KANE]

Well, it appears my 8 used (but matched) injectors have one that is bad.

So, I'm going to replace all eight while I'm replacing the bad one. Any recommendations for injectors? I'm running 24lb LT1 injectors. I'd rather not spend a lot either.

Anyways, as I was driving home from work today, the power seemed to fall out from the engine. For the last two weeks, it seems as though its been off its game a bit. Rough idle, occasional stalls at lights (not atypical when not using VSS). Nothing big though.

When I noticed something was wrong today, the strong smell of gas from the driver's side sidepipe was noticeable as soon as it started to run rough. When I got it home off the flatbed, I pulled the spark plugs and the valve covers. The springs weren't cracked nor are there any bent push rods (whew). All of the rockers appeared to be okay. Granted, the engine didn't have any noises that would have indicated mechanical failure- it just seemed as if it had a bad plug or wire. I know my engine and my car. I don't think I've lost compression- but I'll check this weekend.

The number one plug was wet and there was some drainage of fuel out of the cylinder. No surprise though- I did run it for a minute or two to pull it into the garage. I'm pretty convinced it is the injectors. They were used and I purchased them from Ebay. So much for the $99 injectors I bought earlier this year.:L

The #1 injector was leaking. Plain as day in this shot-

I've heard this place is pretty good, but I don't have any experience with them myself.

They have the Bosch/Ford 22 lb for $305.50 for 8 or the Bosch/Ford "blue tops" 24 lb for $369.50 just depends on what you want.

Wow, the price of injectors has really went up. I remember probably about 3 years ago, you could buy a set of pink tops for $200 but now, they're almost $300.:ugh

Mine will also have to be replaced but not until next year.

I decided to go with these-

DarkShark,

What was the cost for those injectors?

Edmond- $230 shipped to your door from Jegs. They were very reasonable in terms of price for NEW injectors.

 

[Edmond]

Yes, that is very reasonable.

The Bosch ones are close to $400 if not more.:W

I recently installed Accel 23 #/hr injectors. $279 from Summit. So far so good but they only have 1000 miles on them.

I bought the LS1 injectors from five-o motorsports for <$400, and my coupe NEVER ran this smooth and peppy.
