(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Sifrino3

Im looking to upgrade my fuel system. (Fuel rails, regulator, injectors, and pump.) What are the hp numbers for the injectors. Like, #24 best around 275-325 hp. While #30 is best around 325-275. Something like that. Any comments would be helpful.

A) Blue #24
B) Red #30

Thanks,
Ramsey

If your not running boost or NOS then your stock 24# are plenty.

You don't upgrade a fuel system until you have engine mods. (heads, cam, blower) Stock 19# injectors are fine for a stock motor. And the fuel rails can support 450 rear wheel hp...

Performance wise, I was told to sit tight on my stock injectors.

Stock injectors are yellow #19. But was thinking of going with the 24s, intall heads are put on down the road.

You have to convert to Mass-air before messing with your injectors...why waste your money and just to the whole engine at one time? The car won't be any faster with different fuel injectors and it probably will run worse if you don't get proper tuning.

Posted by: Sifrino3

Why would I need to switch to mass air. The injectors just say. Would perform better with mass air. It doesn't say you need mass air. After the switch I do plan to have the car in the show. To have them tune it and whatever else might need to be done.

Bigger injectors will confuse your computer and it will never run without a $250 chip. So you're spending $400 or more to go just as fast as you already are.

Posted by: Sifrino3

Well, im not going to do the swap as of yet. You talked me out of it.

Posted by: TuBBy

Stock injectors are good up until around 300 horses. I'm still using the stock ones with my Trick Flow heads, just need an AFPR to tune.

Which is it? We tried to warn you........

I love my chip! I wouldn't trade it for anything. I put a tb and the chip on at the same time and it has been one of my best installs!

See? All you got to do is stand up for what you believe in and feel.

AND NEVER HAVE A THIN SKIN!

Besides, for $300.00 I'd say my car was faster even it it wasn't

Posted by: Sifrino3

I try! But the tb and chip my fall short to my new mods.

Strap your car to a dyno and see the whopping 5-15hp you gained for $300. That outta make you sit down.

Posted by: Sifrino3

If I had the money to put it on a dyno I would. But you can go to their site anytime. And see the dyno numbers!

I say for the chip. I got a smoother running engine on top of the extra power.

Posted by: TuBBy

Dynos on the site are prolly fake or some

....for $300 I'd rather spend it on that green Koolaid...

Posted by: Sifrino3

They could be fake. Why dont you try one before you open your stank a$$ mouth?

Posted by: TuBBy

No no no, you see, you got it all wrong....I read, I watch, I listen.....thats why I know NOT to buy the chip....have a good day

Posted by: Sifrino3

Its good to know you will only be as good as everyone else that is a one minded fool.

Posted by: TuBBy

Man, fu ck you....you dont know jack sh it about cars, let alone Lincolns....I am just not ignorant, I research my ideas and make sure everything will work out. I don't just go spending cash on sh it that I know won't work....

Posted by: Sifrino3

Well, everything for me has worked. So, okay!

Posted by: TuBBy

Well thats dandy...

Posted by: Sifrino3

No, thats GRRRREAT!

So the chip debate has been brought over to THIS site now. Great. The ONLY thing I'd buy a chip for would be my '95 to help improve shifting.

Back on topic, you don't need 30# injectors for what you're running - that's overkill. 24's would do ok when you adjust the FP. But 19's are perfectly fine.

Yes, its all about the chip! I am not going to switch injectors yet. Its when I switch to aftermarket heads with the cobra manifold(ported to match).

Havn't decided on heads. I really have to get into it and see whats out there. I really just want better then stock. But is fully street. Race on the weekends. Can use stock cam. (Until money is up)
