would 34lb injectors be overkill?
I've been having issues with the injectors in my lt1. i keep putting the stock 24lb ones in. and i was thinking about a set of 34lbs. would that change how the car runs or would i just be wasting my time?

correct. they'll SUPPORT more horsepower as you make the car faster and demand more fuel, but they won't actually make your car any faster, unless of course if it's already starving for fuel

what's the car setup as of now? normally a full top end build will start to push the limits of the stock injectors. so if your running over that you in need of injectors. normally you can fell it as there possibly might be missfires since the timing might not be correct

the only thing i really have done to the motor is, i got a set of heads and intake off of an lt4 motor, a 52mm throttle body, and a slp two filter intake. my problem is the car breaks up when im at cruising speed and i jump on it .. or right after i do a burnout..

I've found so many little things and some big,, since than,,,, like just yesterday i found a vacuum line that was disconnected,,, i wondered if the fuel pump was going bad,,, than felt like an idiot when i realized that i never put a V8 fuel pump in it when i did the V6-V8 conversion.. so i changed that,,, the cars just a world of difference...

Im surprised the car even ran with those wires not grounding.
Im not sure what the pressure difference is between them but I bet the V8 enjoys the new pump!
