Default Which are better fuel injectors?

I am running 1000cc injectors right now but they are older ones that have the generic metal clips that are a pain in the a**. I have some smaller cc injectors but they are new so which one should I use?

Please familiarize yourself with the rules of this tech forum (see stickies).

Thread titles MUST summarize the tech problem (be topic specific) so that members browsing titles can understand the problem without reading the post. Title edited.

Also provide all pertinent information about your car and engine.

Use the ones that can handle the flow demand you put on it. I don't understand the question.

Also if you are running on a tune (which you HAVE to be) you can't just swap them out without retuning.

I wouldn't be concerned about age per se, just how dirty they are. Do you know if they're pintle or disc style? Look inside the spraying tip and see if both kind of injectors have one hole (pintle) or 3-6 holes in circular pattern (disc). Back in my DSM days, disc style was considered to be better. That could be a factor in deciding which to ultimately use, otherwise I would go with what your current setup is currently demanding.

Dirty injectors can usually be brought back to new conditions.
Get in touch with Rich over at CruzinPerformance and let him clean the 1000cc ones if you want to bring them back to their original performance.

Good luck.
