1000cc vs. 850cc injectors

[realruffryder]

i am getting the dsmlink in a few weeks and need new injectors. i know everyone says go ahead and get the 1000cc injectors and you wont need to upgrade. i thought i read somewhere that if you use too big of injectors then you might not gain as much. with 1000cc tuned down wouldnt it keep the cycle short and the fuel more of a "squirt" compared to a smaller injector "misting" the fuel? i thought that the more of a "mist" you had the better the air and fuel could mix. i dont know if it really matters on a street driven car or not. sorry if it doesnt make sense, i dont have much time on the net bc im in iraq right now. thought popped in my head and had to ask.

The question is what will you be running. E85 is an awesome product and if you ever want to convert the 1000cc injectors will be needed so I would say go with 1000cc's.

Everyone on the DSMLink forum seems to be saying that it will run FIC 1150 injectors perfectly. Plus they're on sale right now, for like 330 or something like that.

Well there yea go. My mechanic is converting to AEM because he is having problems with his large injectors. I think he runs 1600cc's though.

Link seems to have some problems with 1600's. It will run them, but not too well from what I hear. Apparently it can handle them better on E85.

Here's some info I've gathered from other people's experiences with 1600's.

700 dead time
75% Global
And if you're running blowthrough, it's all about airflow sliders. Almost everyone everyone had some sort of low/partial throttle hesitation when they got on the throttle more. Some people are running 1600's better, on a true standalone.

Most people suggest running 1150's, since they're plenty of fuel and Link can handle them perfectly. Anyways, 1150's are all I'll ever need, and DSMLink can handle them fine.

Yea he thought his 1000cc's was enough but I think they had high IDC's on e85 even with 1000cc's.
