$300 left after LSVTEC buildup...What to buy, GSR girdle or RC 270 Injectors?
I am currently in the process of rebuilding my LSVTEC. Here's a basic list of the mods I have plus or minus a few small things:
My head currently consists of the following:
93 GSR B17A unmilled head
3-angle valve job and resurfaced
CTR cams
ITR valvesprings
RC cleaned/balanced 245cc/min injectors
B&M FPR
All new seals and gaskets
My bottom end is as follows:
90 B18A shortblock
US ITR 0.025 pistons (will give me around a 10.8:1 C/R; very 91 pump gas friendly)
Eagle LS rods
Balanced/micropolised LS crank
B17 Oil Pump
New LS water pump
All new gaskets, seals, and belts
Going with Hondata Stage 2. Plan on revving to no higher than 8600 rpms and very rarely.
Now question is with the money left over, I have the choice to get either a GSR girdle setup (oil pan, pickup, windage tray, bolts and caps) or RC 270 cc injectors. I don't know if the girdle would be a good investment in the long run b/c of the poor R/S ratio or if the stock injectors would be fine with the C/R I'm running and avoid detonation and setting timing at 16 degrees. Which of the two do you think I should go for? Need some opinions. TIA.

The GSR oil pan sits too close to the exhaust on the 93. Go for the injectors, or get some stainless steel valves.
