OPINIONS??
earlier this week i my had 2001 gt checked my a mechanic because it was throwing a few codes. a tune fixed the problem. i found out that the idiot who had the car before put 42lb fuel injectors in it. the car is currently tuned for them and runs perfectly. should i just leave the injectors on it since it runs perfect and not worry about it, or return it to the stock 19 lb injectors and get it tuned again?

Nonetheless, while a tune can compensate for most of the issues the large/enormous injectors would create, fueling at lower loads and cruising speeds will be difficult to control likely resulting in fuel economy and driveability problems.

When I dialed in my tune and increased my spark timing between 4-7 degrees across the board, I ended up getting 367 miles out of the next tank of gas... a good 35 miles better than I had ever done with the stock 21# injectors I had. There's no harm in leaving the bigger injectors on there. You're not losing any power, not losing any mileage, the shorter PW may be a little bit better in the end, anyway... just as long as the tune is dead on.

before the tune, it had 205 hp according to the dyno. (stock is supposed to be around 230) after the tune it was up to 233. my friend thinks that if i return it to the 19lb, and then get a tune, the hp will increase even more

The cobra injectors have a different spray pattern, IIRC... dual-cone. At such short PW's though it won't matter, the fuel won't have the chance to hit the manifold runner walls... which is the only thing that could cause a problem. The dual-cone pattern will probably yield better atomization, anyway...
