Default Injector install question

Me and a friend are installing injectors which requirs us cutting the factory harness I was wondering which is better soldering or crush connector(butt connectors?) he things connector's wont be any difference from soldering but I say it will since the injectors basically use the electric current to know how much to spray and that a solder would prvide a better connection.

connectors vs saldering and electrical tape which is better?

There's not even a reason to ask. A properlly soldered connection will always be better then a crimp splice.. Although if you want to be slick (I haven't looked at or tried this yet) you could attempt to use t-splices instead of cutting..

If you really had to ask this, Id step away from the car, and not let that friend help. +1 with what MIA said.
