50 lb Injectors

[Mike Schaefer]

Please give me your opinion about installing 50 lb Injectors on turbo Buicks ??? I have concerns!

They work fine into the low 11s, high 10s. What are your concerns?

I heard from a very nice experienced source they are not applicable for turbo cars. I was told I should seriously consider 60 lb Injectors instead. I have a TA49 turbo and MAF Translator installed.

They are fine. If you are going to buy injectors, i would get 60s or 80s and a matching chip. Since you have a translator, get the proper extender chip. It makes no sense to have a translator and.not use its extra metering capability by using a std chip.

I do not know how experienced your source is, but years ago we used lots of 50# injectors with a build like yours, and many other with 50's that went easily and safely into the 10's.

It seems we now have lots of "experts" with keyboard experience and lack ACTUAL learning experience?

I have a friend that goes 11.2 on a stock motored 49 car with a 50lb injector

I went 11.9s on 36 pounders. Like the old days with carb CFM bigger isn't always better...work with a combination.

I think someone said this but if you are going to buy injectors you should buy 80 lbs or 60s so you just buy them once .
