Default Fuel injector install difficulty?
How hard is it to replace fuel injectors? I'm assuming you have to take off the upper intake.

You do. Other than that it's plug and play.

I'm upgrading my stock fuel injectors to 19# 4-hole spray because I know mine are shot anyway. Will I notice anything better? mileage? performance?

on scale of 1 to 10 its a zero

make sure you lube o-rings on new injectors when replacing
so you dont pinch one.
If you do they are dirt cheap at Autozone

What should I use for lube? I know petrolium lube is bad, but other then that I wouldn't know what to use.
