Some of you already told me and I've been stubborn about it but I've come to terms with myself about 30 lb'ers not being enough for my combo. More info on whats forcing me to face reality coming in another thread sometime soon. I plan to send my Pro-M MAF in for re calibration for whatever size injector I end up with.

The 30's I have now are maxed. I'm thinking 42's is what I need to support up to 450hp at the wheel and have some duty cycle in reserve. I run boost up to 10 psi

Anybody know of this company?

Any experience or opinion on the quality of their injectors. $200 for a set of 8 seems like a good deal. I could also take a stab at a refurbished and flow tested set of OEM Lightening injectors from another seller for $220.

I have a set of 42lb OEM Lightning truck injectors I plan to eventually swap in place of the current 30lb's Im running right now. I had a Pro-M MAF and I plan to send it in to be re-calibrated for the 42's. Other than swapping the injectors in and re-calibrated MAF, is it plug and play with my existing setup? Will the tuned SCT chip continue to work in a similar manner to support things after the injector swap?
