Beans offers the tranny saver injectors, a little smaller than stage ones. But with any increase in power you will shorten the life of your stock auto trans.

dont be fooled by the term tranny savers. they throw down some serious power also. if you wanna play i would suggest getting the tranny beefed up.

I just had the tranny rebuilt along with a new convertor.I'm hoping to swap it out for a five speed by the end of the summer.I was thinking about the tranny savers,but I only want to do them once so if I go standord I am gonna want the stage 1's.

why would you swap out and spend more money on a used std??just seems like you wasted a few grand to me that way..
i want to swap out to baby grands too!! but i am going to wait until i have an o-ring leak ot a skipping injector .. i hate to send good injectors in a scores.. seems like a waste to me.
let us know how it turns out..

I dont blame you for wanting the stage I's. I would love to upgrade my injectors but I just dont have the $$$$$ to fix what I break! I guess a few of the new stage I users upgrade to stage II's just because they want even more. If you do change to a 5 speed get a good clutch with a single mass flywheel (luk, south bend). Have fun with the mods!
