Default Fuel Injectors and Rear End?

Ok 2 questions...
1 how hard is it to install fuel injectors?

And 2. If you upgrade rear ends from the 7.5 to the 8.8 do you have to get all new brake assemblies and calipers rotors and such?

1. Simple. Just unbolt your fuel rails and gently pull up until the injectors relase. Then unclip them and install the new ones.

2. No.

Like stl said, the fuel injectors aren't the most difficult thing to replace.

And all you need to swap the rear end is the cobra pinon flange. The rear brake setup is the exact same on the gt and the v6.

Question, why do you want to replace the injectors?

hes looking at f/i wich normally all sets call for bigger injectors. your 8.8 needs the cobra pinion flange to fit the v6...you simply transfer everything from your stoc 7.5 to your new 8.8. rear rotors and everything are the same size on gts and v6s. youll need a buddy to help you or even easier if youre ok with people messing with your car pay 100 to a shop for the swap

You'll need to see what injectors are recommended for the STS turbo. I would guess either 39s or 42s.

Ok. Will I be ok with stock ones for a while? That is why I am asking. I could get them later and swap them out if it is simple.
