I've been searching my ass off recently on some 550cc injectors and I'm pretty sure I'm going with rc engineering... It seems like every thread I've found has somebody claiming that they got everything needed (rc injectors, clips, o-rings, and so on) new for sub 400 bucks... But I'm not seeing prices anywhere even near that ball park.

Where the hell are you guys finding these awesome prices? I've gone to all of the suppliers that I know of and pretty much everyone is $540-600 bucks for everything.

Hopefully I'm missing something... but if nothing else comes out of this thread... Who has the best price?

RC injectors for $300? Nope. Not new. And not RC injectors ;)

PTE injectors on the other hand YES.

Also one more thing

RC Injectors are basically rebadged and flow tested to within 1% Delphi/Lucas injectors.

^^ What he said, I got my brand new PTE 550's with clips for a little over $300, from what I understand its the same thing, I couldn't find any differences between the two besides the badging and the mark up.

These are the PTE's I bought, and also the ones that the fake PTE thread was about. Mine were scribed on, not a sticker or marker, and I had them flow tested first. They came back good. BUT, who knows if everybody gets a good set. They cost me $350ish, and I am happy. Many members bought the same ones and run them without flow testing, and could have fakes that don't match. You be the judge.

Here is a link to the scam thread.

I've got an opportunity to pick up some RC's (w/ clips I believe) and a Walbro fuel pump with a 1,000 miles on each for $400. Is this a great or even good buy, or just so-so?

I personaly wouldent skimp on fueling and make sure it is done right. I've lost a motor to fueling issues.

I've been told 1,000 miles on them. Car was built and run, then bigger, grander plans came into play and they've been sitting in a box since last summer.
