you don't need injectors bret. you have a mild tune. headers and a cold air. No reason to up grade until you get a little deeper into the mod game

Theoretically speaking anything over 100% is maxed, but in reality much over about 85% is pushing it because the injectors are made to cycle in order to maintain the requested flow rate. Anything over ~85% and the flow rate starts to become unpredictable.

However I doubt his injectors are maxed out based on the mods in his sig. I would be surprised if they hit 90%. Adding a cam would probably push them over the top.

What was the AFR at that point?

It couldn't hurt to look for a set of 8.1L injectors if future mods are in the plans.
