    Favorite spray paint?

    Dupli-color's spray nozzles are by far the best i've used from a spray can, also their engine paint seems to hold strong on most anything you put it on.. the 500 degree paint i've used on plenty of places that weren't engine parts.. And it seems to work perfectly..

    550cc Injectors...

    Does anyone know (im sure you do.. lol) what cc the injectors out of the early 90's lexus V8's were? I've heard they were 550 but they seem a lot easier to get and wayyy cheaper than the RC injectors and others that are advertised as 550s.. any help would be appreciated :)
