Default Fuel injectors

looking to do an upper engine upgrade(trick flow intakes, heads, cam, headers etc) would it be wise to put bigger injectors in? from what i am told it is a big power gain so i'm just curious if more fuel would be wise or not. thanks!

bigger injectors probably will be better to my knowledge, however i dont know how big they should be. you have the stock ones right now coorrect? but in general i would think it is very safe to say that more air means you need more fuel so that you dont burn lean and kill your plugs. but thats just my opinion

yea stock injectors. i figured i would be safe to upgrade to 24lbs just so it will be a little more fuel. if anyone thinks different let me know.

I'd put a 24lb injector in. You should need it for any decent aluminum headed combo.
