because with a good tune youll get more out of it, and about the fuel injectors, ya you can stick with 19#'s but if your doing a h/c/i i really wouldnt, im running stock heads stock cam edelbrock performer rpm intake and i have a 70mm tb. however if you do decide to stick with 19#'s my maf is tuned for cai & 19# injectors so ill be selling it in jan-feb whenever i pull my motor to rebuild it, so whoever wants it ill work out a deal i just bought it 2 weeks ago.

i bet he could get a little more out with a good tune

it's a luck issue... some cars agree with mods better than others
