Sounds great but what about the injectors, and the fuel pressure, will that be OK to leave for now

Your injectors only support your hp, so until you reach the point as to which you start to run lean, they're fine. That TB will not free up nearly enough power to cause them to run anywhere's close to 80% capacity (lean).

You guys were talking about injectors, at what point should you consider switching them out? Where do the stock ones become inadequate, and what size would you recommend upgrading to for naturally aspirated or supercharged 5.0's.

The stock injectors should support up to 280rwhp I believe. So unless your doing some major bolt ons, they will be fine.

Screw the Throttle body. You'll see 3hp at the wheel TOPS. Get a larger MAF calibrated to your injectors, you will feel a noticeble gain from that. If you've got $500 just buy a dry shot of nitrous. No matter what anyone says, granted the bottle runs out, its still completely worth the money. Cheapest way to add 150+ hp.

oh and check out this thread.
