If you want to do it right, Atleast get 24lb injector's, which will support more mods down the road.

I got my 24lb injectors on ebay for $70 and they are rebuilt, and flow tested. Then you just need a MAF, I recommend Pro-m maf that will support it. They cost $220

The guy at ford was right 255 is too much for a stockish 5.0, all that extra fuel from a 255 is gotta go some where's..... It goes back to the tank, this causes a lot of friction and the lines will heat up alot. More is not always better.

the cobra MAF work's off the computer, so it will still be tuned for 19lb injectors.

you need a aftermarket maf to trick the computer to work with the 24lb injectors.

Ugh...Seriously? That's the point of a return style fuel system.

A 255 pump is absolutely fine. And if you're going to change it, just get a GSS340 and you don't have to worry about it.

Anyone that tells you a big pump is bad, is foolish.
