Chip and injector size question
I upgraded to #24 injectors over stock #22 should i get a custom chip or are they ok to run stock. Have a adj maf sensor that I leaned out and seems to run fine but wondering if more power gains from injectors could be had with new chip. Also have afpr set at 50lbs while running

Are you logging data? Do you have a wide band O2 sensor? Do you know how to tune and burn chips? Simply adding more and more fuel will not necessarily make more power. It will certainly reduce your gas mileage

No i am not data logging yet. i just purchased the burn1 and am installing a hsr. i am going to turn pressure down to about 45psi and already burned a chip for arap bin with a 6e mask with egr delete and #24 injector constant not experienced enough yet to change fuel and spark tables but will once i get wb o2 and data log i will start playing

You don't really have to have a WB but it will definitely help. Your ecm is probably working overtime compensating... reducing the fuel that you are trying to add by increasing injector size and pressure...
The ecm is trying to achieve a value of 128 for the BLM which is the amount of fuel... the O2 gets a reading and the ecm determines if it is rich or lean then compensates accordingly. You have mechanically increased the amount of fuel so the ecm is sending what it thinks is less fuel to compensate for the richness...
You really need to start datalogging to see how all this works together.
