Re: INJECTORS!

There was absolutely too much information in an article about injector sizes that i read in GRM magazine, so you'll have to get it or go to there website to read it, basically addressing the issue of injector size. In short it stated that engineers use the smallest injectors for the target hp. (for multiple reasons; fuel efficiency, smooth idle at low rpm and emissions) If you start adding hp with bolt-ons you could be running too lean (regardless of the octane) and not getting the full benefit of your hard earned money you spent on all those parts and eventually ruin your engine in the process! So basically if your adding hp you need to use the formula they give, which they state is an industry standard, get the appropriate size INJECTORS adjust your timing and get an ecu flash as necessary.
