Default Injector upgrade question

Hey guys I am looking to get another opinion on whether or not I can run 24lb/hr injectors without too much of an issue. This will be on ,y 93 lx conv which is a super low mileage car but I have already done the full exhaust and CAI of course,but I was told 24lb/hr injectors will work fine and others say I will need a MAF. Can anybody give me some pointers?

I'm looking for an explorer intake too if anybody has one too lol

you will need a matching MAF calibrated to the 24lb injectors...

what have you done to your car that warrants larger injectors? bigger heads? boost? nitrous?

an exploder intake alone does not require 24s... unless your making a need for more fuel, putting 24s on your, which is probably stock, motor is a waste. keep the 19s for now

Thanks for the pointers guys! I have the MAF to match. I am looking to add GT40 heads and an intake. I'm just stockpiling the parts so it will be easier.

hopefully someone didnt sell you a "Cobra MAF for 24# injectors"

You wont be very happy if that is the case.

This is all that happens with a stock meter n 24s that car will run about 5% rich compared to the stock meter and 19s the main thing about the upgrade is housing size.
