This has been covered a million times before...

You can run a 2.8 on 42lb injectors, depending on how high you rev they will run out of capacity, usually around 6800 or so they peg at 100%.

Lol. If you're not going to pony up to do it right then don't do it IMO.
This is a 3.0 42's and custom tune and you can see that it ran way out of injector...

Why at almost 12.70 AFR?

ran out of injector lol, you can see commanded was way rich so this is what lead to it and was just one in a number of flashes thereafter, i think idcs were just below 100 when it was done but this is on a 3.0 and people thinking it's ok to run lower with a gms2 tune are delirious imo. granted you will have more or less inj depending on altitude as in CO you can run a 2.8 and 42's and be fine, but i don't see the point in putting a smaller pulley on if you can't afford a 2-300 dollar tune to make sure it's safe.

05slowline is right. I would never run anything lower then a 3.1" pulley on GMS2 injectors.

I maxed them right at 7k with a custom tune.

Stock Injectors Stock Pulley Stock Tune and all the bolt-ons - Saturn ION RedLine Forums

Tune is from an 07 ION Redline

PE Fuel Multiplier vs RPM Table

I am not sure what the thought process behind this is...


It takes quite a while for the AFR to drop to a safe level. Before 4562 rpms the AFR was in the mid 12s.


100% IDC at 5841 and the lowest AFR of 10.7.


120% IDC and 11.8 AFR at 6626.


I wanted to rev to 7000 but I saw the lean spike and let off. I have a little more faith in this setup compared to the stock setup. I "think" that I can keep the IDC under 100% all the way to 7k with a custom tune that has the proper AFR. But its going to be close.

It will be really interesting to see what the 2.8" and 2.9" pulley does with these injectors.

Of course the OP already heard the answer he wanted to hear so he is probably going to do it.

That's why I am upgrading my fuel injectors from 42lbs to 60lbs. I am on 2.9 pulley right now with 42lbs and I can tell it's stall/fuel cut off alittle bit only on the second gear. If I am pushing it.

I had no issues with a 3.0 on 42s. I would be cautious running them wiht anything lower. I am going to be running a 2.8 and upgraded to 60s

I have logs somewhere of my 2.9 with 42s at over 120% duty cycle as well. Depending on your mod level and what you're revving to, I'd be very careful and recommend 60's.
