Default Bigger fuel injectors?

What will I gain from putting bigger injectors in and what else will I need to do to see the benefits? Any thoughts appreciated.

well what other mods do you have? First off you will have to re tune the car for them. Second you will burn more gas if you don't have many mods. They are paired nicely with a mass air flow sensor, and you only really need bigger injectors when you get into heavily modifying your car.

They are great for nitrous and forced induction setups where you don't want to risk running lean... IE they run more fuel easier.


what do you plan on doing to the car?

You don't need injectors unless you are FI or you have one hell of a N/A setup.

I just got the car and I am going to start modifying it with exhaust and induction and I was looking for ideas after that to pick up a few more horses.

i'm running 30# injectors. injectors will not help you until you get close to 300 rwhp, at wich point they simply become a restiction. but as said, your car needs to be tuned for them. when you are breaking 280 rwhp, 24#'s is a good idea, simply for the fact that otherwise you'll be pushing the stockers fairly hard.
