What is the altitude of your location? Sure, stock injectors are maxed at sea level but at 4000ft running a fully bolted L61 on ethanol I'm only at 80% duty cycle. Altitude has a lot of sway.

This. 400ft is pushing it. LSJ injectors are a safe, cheap upgrade.

Yes, that kind of idc you risk your injectors going static. I am a strong believer in 80% max, but then again I've always been that way, even with finances.

Was fine for 5 years. Had no issues with my car but I get what you're saying. Better safe than sorry. My 60s right now are at 89%

no one really follows that 80% rule. especially not gm. its really more like a guideline that helps injector manufacturers sell the **** out of 1000 cc injectors that cost double that of 80 #ers

my gms2 injectors on my lsj would run over 100% from the factory by 6k rpm. as long as the air to fuel isnt running too lean then your fine
