Well, I have the Scanmaster in a box at home, and am going to get a Walbro 340 and hotwire, adjustable FP regulator and gauge, and I think I might do new injectors too. Was wondering if these are decent? http://www.racetronix.com/621031.html

Before anyone instantly says "Get 50's", keep in mind that I'm keeping the stock turbo, and if I eventually do upgrade it at all, it'll be a TA-49, so 50's seem like big overkill. Plus there's a $120 difference in price, and I just can't swing it. The real world has a firm grip on my wallet!
I'm only shooting for a fast street car, not looking to squeeze out every tenth that I can get. Might take a trip or two to the track just to see how it does, but that's it.
I read bad things about 009's, but was wondering why. Would something like these 38 lb'er's work better for what I'm doing? :confused: http://www.racetronix.com/621010.html
 
hey! hows it going! i have had over the years, #36, 42, 50, and 72# injectors. i liked them all except the 009s. they always had a little stumble off idle no matter what chip i tried. maybe it was just my combo at the time? i dont know. i 'd try to get a set of used 50's at a better price or a group purchase. i remember back in 97 when i first started coming to this board 009's and the seventh injector setup was all the rage, my how have times changed!
 
I've got the 009s and I can't find a problem with them. I guess it matters what chip you use, but I got mine from Eric Marshall (TurboTweak) and the car runs smoothly all day long. Don't worry about 'em! Plenty of people use/have used them without problems. You aren't going to find a part that everyone likes :o
 
the 009s used to have a bad reputation for tip in problems and stumbling until ERIC MARSHALL figured them out-

if you do buy them, make sure you run one of his chips and you wont be disappointed
