why did you go larger injectors? and what did you go for? any reason you went for them?
3bar is standard on most VTS that i found. I think the 3.5bar oddly comes from the VTR

I think the main help for the good figures is the quality of the ECU and the map. Ive not come across anyone whos spent so much time perfecting a map, the idle in particular is smooth as silk.

I definately need to enjoy a bit and not do anything major for a while, spent far too much money and spent too long without a car this year

When i was building the engine i did wonder about injectors, so i called GMC who, to cut a long story short, said that standard injectors will be fine up until after 170ish bhp. Eventually looking to put bodies on it so i thought id get the injectors out the way now

GMC supplied them, im unsure of the type but heres a pic, pretty big difference in size and i had to modify the fuel rail to get them in
