This seems to be getting a bit out of hand here, injectors can fail, lets just make that clear, it's not common but it can happen. I was not implying anyone should have known this was an issue on weiboys car. Just wanted to clarify that weiboy did have a faulty/failing injector.

Stillen uses deatchwerk 600cc injectors which are modified Densos. FWIW, deatchwerks has been around a long time doing this, lot's of 240 guys including myself ran his injectors when they first came out. GTM used to use DW injectors too if im not mistaken, but no longer do. Perhaps Sam could comment on why? Maybe they did not like the DW/Densos or had some fail? I hear the latency on these injectors can make it finicky to tune.

I was also recently told to "stay away from deatchwerks" because of this specific incident, but that was immediately followed up with a story of a bosch injector destroying a brand new race motor. What I took away from it was, sometimes injectors fail. I don't think there is any cause for alarm regarding the deatchwerk injectors that stillen uses.
