i hate to say it but installing larger fuel injectors should only be done when forced induction is in place (turbo or supercharger). if your fuel to air ratio is off bc pumping for fuel than air into your engine it will run rich. and that will actually hurt performance. plus if u do install bigger injectors ud almost always have to install a better performing pump. a stock pump will not be able to provide enough flow the new injectors would need. best thing is stock injectors for a stock system.
