I have added a k&N filter and that is going to be it. Maybe an exhaust down the road. I am getting excited b/c from what I have read the fic bosch III's make a noticeable improvement over the stockers. I have read nothing but positives about them and their injectors. Can't wait.

Ok great. Sorry for asking but what are the benefits of the $189 bosch III set over the $169 set? I am guessing maybe a little more performance?? Installing them this week then.
BTW my originals seem to be fine but after all of the fic research I have decided it would be better to replace since I have the intake runners off. Car has 30,000 miles but it sat for 12 years. Thanks again.

I ordered a set of injectors for my 88 L98 vette. I ordered the $169 set of injectors instead of the flow matched. Did I make a mistake? Also I didn't have the option for the gaskets. I have a fel-pro o-ring gasket set. Wiill the fel-pro be ok or do I need to order the set from fic? Thanks. I had called but we kept missing each other.

I have used 2, 4 and 6mm vac lines on my Z. Ok I found a 3/8 by 1mm barbed fitting that will screw into the intake runner. So some silicone heater hose and I am set.

okay good idea. I will check. I have an 88 with 32,000 miles on it. The car sat for 12 years so I have already replaced the hatch seal, hatch struts, radio, speakers, vac lines, hoses, etc. I have the intake runner off now replacing everything and cleaning everything up. Started with the thermostat and ended up doing everything else. Much easier to work on than my 90 Nissan 300zx.

is there any reason why I can't replace the intake runner metal hose that runs to the brake booster with a rubber hose all the way thru?? Metal tube make things difficult when removing the valve covers and what not.
Also I am replacing all of the vac hoses with silicone. If I do some rerouting and let the silicone hose lay on the intake manifold to the egr. Will it melt or be ok?? Thanks.
