Default Question about my mods and running lean

Ok with the mods I have now and the 75mm tb I just got, would I need to upgrade my injectors? I don't wanna get the car on the dyno just to find out that I can't get as much power as I would if I had bigger injectors.

Your about 60hp away from needing to upgrade injectors. But if you get to the dyno and the tuner tells you need to upgrade tell him to eat **** and up the fuel pressure. 19# injectors at 85psi will function as 30lbs injectors. And don't worry the incectors handle 100psi. But you will not need to upgrade you fuel system with your mods.

I heard something bout upping the fuel pressure causing the injectors to spray more but i didn't know if that was true or not. Thanks guys for the imput. It saves me bout 225 bucks.

If you do plan on doing many more mods in the future doing the fuel system next before you run into trouble wouldn't be the worst idea

I was thinking about running a small shot of nitrous. I'm in school right now so it prolly won't be til I graduate.

stock injectors can handle up to about 300 rwhp so you should be fine... but just keep an eye out cuz if you buy kenne bell they give you new fuel injectors for your car, so depending on what you do, the fuel injectors will be given to you

I should be putting a tad over 300whp.
