No, you won't get more HP from bigger injectors. You don't need bigger injectors unless you are pushing lots more power.

jthorn9 said that he thought the stock fuel injectors were 14lbs.

What size injectors are recommended if you have/are running:
Cold Air Intake
73mm MAF
65mm Throttle Body
MSD Ignition
255 lph fuel pump
Supercharger

Well I think you should be running off of 42lb injectors with a S/C, but be sure you port match your intake for that 65mm tb as it will do almost nothing on a stock 60mm intake. I would reccommend going to a 70mm intake, they're harder to find for the six, but it will help out.

I can't find the 70mm BBK Throttle body to save my life.
I ordered the BBK1652 from rpm outlet thinking it was the 70mm, but when it arrived it was the 65mm and I checked the web site and it mysteriously changed.

BBK1652 on brothersperformance.com shows it as the 70mm, but that same part number comes up as 65mm on summitracing.com

BBK1652 shows on the bbkperformance.com website as a 70mm, and it doesn't even show a 65mm available for the v6.

Maybe 70mm is the outside diameter?

I don't understand, and I'm scared :-(

Go to BBK's website...I think it's www.bbkperformance.com
or maybe www.bbk.com
Get teh part number from them, then go to www.hillbanksmotorsports.com, and contact Chris in sales. If it can be got, he can get it.

42# injectors you are recommending? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!??! Those are going to be WAYYYYYYYYYYY too huge for that setup...unless he is pushing some 300-400hp and plans to add more.

Tb and Maf are doing NOTHING for power.

Depends the type of blower as well.....with that 255 pump you can do 30# injectors perfectly fine with room to spare.

by the way...they do nothing. This is only needed when you get a power adder.....bolt on parts you dont need to upgrade them. Remember to do the fuel pump at the same time if you decide to slightly upgrade them though.
