Question Replacing stock injectors with ?

I've got a 2000 Silvy, 4.8L 2wd with minor mods (intake, wheatley tune, muffler and an 80mm tb) I've done some research on here and haven't come up with a good answer for a replacement.

Should I be looking for oem replacements or something a little better. I don't plan on doing a cam, nor doing anything other than lt headers possibly. What are your recommendations?

Thanks

if you are not maxing them out you dont need and wont gain anything by going to larger injectors.

Injectors won't do anything for your performance. Only time you need to up injector size is when you have the stockers maxed out. You sstill can mod a bit before you will be there..

Thanks - one last question, where can I find a part number. I have several areas and have came up with zero results.

I would assume just bone stock, since my list of mods is very small... (see first post)

I wouldn't buy stock ones again unless yours a not working.. Maybe i am not understanding.. If you think your going to push it to the point of needing to upgrade, you want the delphi marine 42-44lbers..

Okay so your recommending the Delphi marine 42-44 lber's, and I assume that I'd need a retune when upgrading to this?


The only other mod I might do is long tube headers, so I'd definitely need larger injectors?
