Sorry...I have coil on the brain lately.

FMS injectors are about $220 a set for 8 regardless of size. I'd rather pay that than $168 for 3 injectors, budget or no budget.

Last i checked, pink tops were abit cheaper than that. It makes no sence to replace 3 failed injectors, thats like putting in 3 new spark plugs cause you think the others look fine. Youre going to end up with 3 injectors flowing at a different rate to the other 5, and 5 injectors that could fail at any minute. Makes more sense to do the job right first go.

hey guys.. sorry for the confusion... i get it now.. you see every post casey put up to help had the link to this marx parts. thought he was pushing me there every time. my wife who's a lot smarter than me told me it was his signature.. i did not mean to piss anyone off. so accept my appology. Oh, as far as down under.. i just want them like next day, that all. and I am new to this internet stuff. Im a steelworker, what can i say

The link is part of the sig. The business belongs to a very good long term mate of mine, who is also a member of this forum. I get my parts from Colorado, which last i heard was still in the US, im hardly likely to ship anything over here, then ship it back to you. Instead of making an assumption, you may want to check out the link in future. I dont give bumsteers, and if i made an error, its very unlikely id make that error 1,943 times.

You might be a hell of a nice bloke for all i know, but youll have to think abit harder about how you word your replies and how they might be taken. Also remember the fact me as well as the others here are giving up their free time to save you time and money, and get the most out of your car. The only thing we ask for in return is some gratitude and the respect that goes with it. When you know us on a first name basis, we will know how to take you better. Any time we spend here helping others is in our own free time, we ask nothing more than respect for what we give. I for one am only too happy to spend my free time helping others with their Corvettes, and whether it looks like it sometimes or not, i spend quite abit of my spare time doing that.

I dont mean to sound arrogant, but a little apreciation from people for my efforts goes a hell of a long way with me.

Apology accepted.

Maxxparts is in Colorado, by the way! That is rather far from down under.

Thats MAXX WRENCH, and yes, he is in Colorado.

And to the OP, I'm assuming it wasn't your intent to piss off Case, but I'd make nice quickly...you'll be hard pressed to find better advice on your car (and possibly other things).

Yes!! There are a only a hand full of guys that I know I can ask about C4 issues and have a quick, accurate response. Case is one of them. (And the rest of the handful resides at Corvette-Guru too)

Thank you both very much for your kind words.
