Yup. I have one. Did that before anything else. I could put that in my sig. Mine is set to cyclic scan and the lights to come on at 3° of KR. I don't see the lights near as much since headers and CAI.

You're not going to see a real benefit from e85 until the you tune for it.

I get that you won't see the maximum benefit out of e85 without a tune. But it sounds like for those of us without a tuner (yet) the ease of the swap with the admitted limited benefits make it still worth doing.

Is there a preferred make or vendor for the 42.5 injectors?

If buying used are there ones to look for or avoid?

Pretty much all the vendors sell the lucas 42lb-ers FWIW... ZZP/Wbody store are about the same price. Whoever is cheaper I guess. I've had great customer service from both companies.

Awww, ya. I just read that! That sucks. Makes me lean real hard on buying new.

Cheapest I've seen them for is $170 asking price. Granted, I haven't been looking long.

Ive never seen them under 170 either.. although about a year ago I got a steal on my 60's. pretty sure it was 150 shipped with an extra fuel rail ha.

Thanks!
I'll bookmark those.

My general rule of thumb has always been used = 1/2 price of new, or less. That goes for when I'm the seller too. Maybe that's why my used crap sells so quick? I put a pretty high value on something being new.

The only exception to this is firearms. I love me some used guns!
