Default Injector upgrade?

I just recently installed a CAI and off road xpipe, amd MIL elim. Does this increased airflow (if any) require upgraded fuel infectors? I don't want to run too lean and fry my heads......

I wouldn't worry about it just yet. When you swap out your heads, intake, headers, TB, etc then it's time to start thinking about it.

Have you recalibrated fuel and spark tables? I bet not.

Several ways of doing that, and you will need an WBO2 controller if you doing it yourself.


1. A chip
2. Some sort of tuner
3. An aftermarket ECU, such as Megasquirt II, whichis much cheaper and better way of doing things, however requires basic electronics knowledge to install. www.megasquirt.info


Your ECU will not compensate for changes you made, because its not using WBO2, its a simple O2 that can only tell if you rich, lean, or right on target, which is 14.7 to 1. Hardware mods without electronics is same as hardware mods on carbed engine without carb adjustment, it dont give you all you can get out of it.
