hey if you wouldnt mind, let me know if you see any improvements from the injector swap! Post up a thread when they go in

Yes, you won't gain any power unless it's going lean, but it will be safer and easier on your injectors.

I run 8.1L injectors. I got them for $24 plus shipping off ebay. If you're not in a hurry you can probably find them for under $100.

Good deal I was just hoping that the 8.1L injectors would be big enough to get me back below mid 80's.
