.093 connector tubes

I got a set of free .093 connector tubes for my 05 and was wondering if they are worth putting in or are they rough on the injetors and rough idle.

I have never seen anyone post real results with larger connector tubes. I thought I read at one time something about a screen/ filter in the tube they had to remove before enlarging them, and something about that screen being the last line of defense for the injector. Again I am just trying to remember things I have heard, not things I know. Bottom line there are big numbers to be had with stock connectors.

I've got nothing for SS, but for Rye, from the '03 manual. . .

Each fuel injector connector tube contains an edge
filter that breaks up small contaminants that enter
the injector. The edge filter uses the injectors pulsating
high-pressure to break up most particles so they
are small enough to pass through the injector. The
edge filters are not a substitute for proper
cleaning and covering of all fuel system components
during repair.

It's 5 o'clock somewhere. . .

Well there you go, I thought I read something like that.

Yes, with the filters in them helping and the fact that there is NO need for them for making big power, I'd say Don't bother...

Calculated 850+ on stock tubes... I see no need..Many have made way more with stockers too..

Just my .02

I would probably just sell them to someone who thinks they can use them.

The stockers can do anything you need to do and it isn't worth the effort of cracking open the fuel system to do this.
