Just like every other car, your actuators are installed upside down. Don't worry about it unless they are binding really bad.

gosh this is great i allways wondered what the actuators looked like when installed wrong , thanx , coil replacement would be optional, ask jeff as to the tests to find out if they are ok. buying a setwill setyou back 160.you will be very happy you did your first pull after this its cake . good job

Why are the Accel injectors so much cheaper than RC? I have around a grand to spend on this little project. What is the best thing to do? I could probably do the Accel injectors, coils & the gaskets for less than that. Then I wouldnt have too much to wonder about under the plenum anymore.

Guidence please..........

Coils
Plug wires
Injectors
Possibly the actuators
Gaskets

The plug wires are less than a year old. Theyre AC Delco. Hey Jeff, can I get all this stuff through you? Prices?

Just an fyi car has 46k miles on it. I would like the Accel coils...are the Accel injectors ok?

John, give me a shout.

Cause RC has to pay for the hi priced advertising and over paid sales people to sell them to you.
Ask yourself this question,is McDonald's burger the best you've ever had,if you had better then why are they the worlds biggest burger joint.

I have Accels i run low 11's a friend has Accels in his 10 second ZR-1.
If RC could guarantee me 10 RWHP over the Accels i will give them double there price,a bunch of overpriced advertising BS.

Go with Accels you will be happy don't buy into the advertising BS.
There's some that will praise RC but ask them for test results.
Of course they will praise them they are still trying to convince themselfs they got a good deal.
Accels are withen 2%
If 1% is worth $1000 more then go with RC's

Some might think i'm a bit harsh, just my opinion.
Sometimes the truth hurts.

I will put my money where my mouth is if they can guarantee me more power.

Dang Pete!! I see youre a little passionate about the subject. Seriuosly though, I follow what youre saying. I dont have a race car, so I dont need every part to spec to the "gnats arse". Reliability is the main factor for me. Thank you for the input.

Also, a thank you to all you guys who added your valuable information.
I dont want to seem like a puscy, but this was a sort of a big deal to me. A year ago when I first started considering a ZR-1, I would never have pictured myself doing what I am. I'm having fun though. I love this stuff. When I was turning wrenches for a living, it sucked. Working on cars for pleasure is waaaay better.

From personal experience check the torque on the injector housing bolts. When I pulled mine for porting they were finger tight.

Yes, youre right....mine were all loose too. I cant help but believe the car has to run better than ever after this....
