I myself wouldn't. Something like an H-pipe or a short throw shifter yeah, but anyhting computer wise or electronic wise i wouldn't. that's just what i think. Goodluck.

Should be ok. Injectors dont really fail unless they are abused like dropped hard or something. Im crossing my fingers on the used 42 pounders i got.

my first set of 36lbs injectors were used and i never had a problem. they took me all the way to 467RWHP, but had to be replaced soon after. not because they went bad, but because i went through more... upgrades...

Thanks guys. I think I am just going to buy new injectors... some 24 pounders. I have a fear thatwhen i goto get my car dyno tuned the tuner is going to tell me that they can't get more power without leaning it out.
