i have two sets of 60s one new and the other used I don't have 42 it's a hard decision honestly I would love e85 but seems like that would have to wait for my xpz build
Dude if you have two pairs of 60's, throw the other in the vs build. I had 60's lying around because I was going to go turbo, but I scrapped the build. When I did my NIC build, I bought 42's, thinking 60's would give me issues. You can tune 60's on a "mild" setup like what you're doing. If anything it's a muh better injector and better spray pattern. I know people bash the guy, but Nick (snowflake) tuned 60's on his N/A 3.8 because he was going to turbo it a couple weeks later, and he needed to the the intake manifold swap to convert from S/C to N/A. He said he had no drivability issues and gas mileage was about the same.
Sorry to break in to your tread but dude I'am looking for 60 to 90 injectors for E-85 any of you want to turn them loose $ ?
Looks like most of the misinformation have been fixed in this thread.
Except, don't use L76 springs. They are not rated for the lift the VS cam on stock rockers will make.
L76 springs are rated to .530 lift, they don't bind until about .580.Quote:

No, that is with 1.6 ratio rockers though.

Thyere like $2.80 each from GM.
I did not know this I thought it would be too much of a injector to use on a vs cam and mileage would drop a good amount over 42s.Quote:

Sorry for the reason why I had them and not sold them is because I still can't decide what fuel to go with but now seems like I can use my 60s for 91oct which I didn't knowQuote:

I don't care about deflection.Quote:

Maybe some detail, article, or documents of some kind to illustrate your point would help people to understand why a spring that's more than capable (infact nearly ideal) of handling a vs cam shouldn't be used.Quote:

Will a shift kit harden 4th be enough I was planning on using the sonnax upgraded valve body but idk if there is stages of this there is a guy selling it on the forums.

No, you will probably want an input shaft and 7/8" chain as well.Quote:
