Next month as in September? If so when? I can come up on a weekend if I know in advance so I can cover my side job.

Not to be one to throw your money around so I'll just say this about injectors, specially the OEM ones. Mine quit on me after a brief period of a mild miss, almost had to say "was that a miss?"....then all heck broke loose. Four primaries on the right bank took a vacation all at once with me about 200 miles from the barn. Needless to say I'll know the true extent of any damage from an excessively lean condition on that bank when my headers finally go on. I suspect that I could have a few valves that maybe in need of attention. JMHO on the real cost of me ignoring that very slight miss. I knew about the injector issue on the early cars and for fear of never having worked on an LT5 chose to check the plugs instead of changing injectors.
