Well I have an 04 GT and I am pretty sure I have 21# injectors and they are pink. Appearently I am running rich at WOT because the cars computer thinks I have 19# injectors when in reality I have 21# or something. The Sniper SF is useless.....upgrade to the Commando, thats what I am gonna do. That way I can adjust my fuel injector slope values or something....thats what Cliffyk said

hmm i'm wondering....if I set mine to 24# too maybe the computer will inject less gas thinking I have 24# injectors when in reality I have 21# so my AFR will be more optimal

I have said this before and I will say it again, it is NOT recommended that you make any changes to the fuel modifiers (including injector size) unless you have a wideband O2 sensor--or know exactly what you are doing and know for sure what pinging sounds like...

For new-edge GTs that came with the pink (21lb/h) injectors the base Special Forces tune will make modest adjustments to the Stabiized Open Loop Fuel table to lean it out a bit at higher throttle openings (it also richens it a bit at other points).

Here's the table comparing the stock tune for my '03 GT, and an 87 octane base tune created by Special Forces:



The numbers in black are the stock tune values, those in blue are the SF 87 octane base tune values. The highlighted area shows the leaned out values...

I would be listening very closely for pinging at WOT, at high loads and low rpm's, and at high rpm's, WOT, and moderate to high loads...
