Default Southbay Injectors - any experience with them?

Shopping for injectors, and I see South Bay injectors has a great price on all 16 injectors with excellent ebay reviews. Anyone have experience with these?

Has anyone ran the Ford FOTE-05A in their LT-5? That's what I just pulled out of my car! shocked to see they were Ford!

The set u got from jerrys I believe we?re the fic injectors that we?re the correct ones for our cars. As to if they were Fords I don?t know and have no feed back in south bay . So sorry if I interjected wrongly into this thread . I get all my parts from Jerry?s whenever I can . He owns a zr1 and I know sells only the best stuff for our cars . Getting stuff elsewhere to save a few bucks isn?t worth it to me and hehe I am poor .

Thanks for the responses, but I'm specifically looking for feedback on the Southbay ZR-1 fuel injectors, and if anyone has experience with the Ford FOTE-05A (Bosch 280 150 943)

The Accel injectors many members use are the same ones used for Mustangs. So are the Fords u have the 19# injectors used for that application?

I ordered a set of ZR-1 injectors from Southbay, they're Bosch injectors. I spoke to the owner of the company and to several ZR-1 owners running these injectors, and felt confident in the purchase. I'm going to test them on the flow bench before I install them and report back.

I was running a set for a while. They came with the car when I bought it. No problems what so ever. They are used/rebuilt injectors so you do run the risk of a bad one popping up. Still if your on a budget they are not a bad solution.

I got my injectors in, and put them on a flow bench: excellent flow patterns and within 2%!! These are a great buy if anyone is looking for a set of injectors that won't break the bank!
