Default Injector ?

I have an 08 Mustang GT and I was wondering if installing larger injectors will give me a noticable horsepower gain. So far I have a C&L intake, Preditor tune for the C&L, and SLP loudmouth axlebacks.

You don't need larger injectors unless you have F/I.

Theres a lot of other bolt on's or mods that you could to gain power though.

My 2008 Mustang GT is fuel injected, so would larger injectors give me a noticable horsepower gain. Noticable being 10 to 15 more HP.

You will not see any gain in power going to a larger injector size. Fuel injectors don't make power, just support enough fuel flow for other parts that do make hp...i.e. supercharger, nitrous, turbo, etc. For only bolt on parts, the stock 24lb injector are fine!

23 or 24 lb/hr (Depending on who you ask) is stock.
You need at least a Heads/Cams Car before you consider bigger injectors.
