it will waste more fuel but it will have an effect on the speed...
so you guys think that 22.5 pounders are not worth it and i should just replace mine with 19 pounders...

also do you guys think the remanufactored ones on ebay are good or not worth it and i should go with new ones...
new ones literally cost 3 times more...

So your mechanic is telling you that if you replace 19# injectors with larger injectors, you will get better mileage? If you don't get a proper tune when you get the larger injectors, then your fuel consumption is going to increase and your mileage will get worse. Either your mechanic is an idiot, or he's just an ******* trying to rip you off. The computer can only compensate for so much.
