Default larger injectors and MAF

I am looking to buy 24lb injectors and the matching 73mm MAF.

I am running a stock 5.0L with just a fenderwell intake and 2.5 exhaust. wil add E303 cam and 1.7 rockers this summer.

is there any advantage to going to larger injectors, and would it require any other mods to make them work correctly?
and is there any performance gains by the larger injectors?

You really don't need them unless you are going to change the H/C/I.

you'll get alittle bit more performance out of the bigger injectors and mass air the only other mod i would suggest would be an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a pressure gauge for the line, and bump the timing up

bigger injectors are completely unneccesary w/ your current setup. spend it on something else

X2 Nothing to be gained with a larger injector at this time nor do you need a fuel pressure regulator with the present mods...stock pressure would be ideal.

You will NOT benefit from going with a larger injector. Its very unnessary like 88blackgt said. Dont waste your $$$

The 24's won't gain you anything.

However, you will see some power from a good MAF upgrade.
Since you can stick with stock injectors, the best option is to swap in a MAF/MAS from a 94-95 Mustang.
All you need to do this swap is a MAF tube and sensor from a 94-95 Mustang (either v8 or v6 will work), and an adapter flange which can be found on the internet.

This is the most accurate MAF available for your setup.
