IMO, unless you are DIY tuning, you will probably do more harm than good because the ECM won't know you've increased the size of the injectors. The injector constant needs to be changed if you go to bigger injectors. 55# injectors would help if you are fuel limited with the stock injectors. You could push your current injectors up to ~20 psi to get more fuel, but again without tuning and datalogging, its hit or miss.

The 40 lbs/hr injectors are from the V-6 TBIs.
