Leaky Injectors, 305 vs. 350 Injectors

Hi all,
Have been having hard start problems lately so I decided to check out the injectors. Pulled the plenum and lifted the fuel rails and I physically watched at least 3 of the 9 injectors dripping fuel out when the car is shut off. Luckily it doesnt appear that the cold start valve is leaking down. At any rate, I am going to ship my injectors out and temporarily throw a set of 305 injectors in that I have on a TPI setup that I have in the garage. How much difference in performance will I notice? Who knows....the way these injectors in there are maybe it will be better?

In order to sustain the same horsepower levels, you'll have to bump up the fuel pressure anywhere from 5 to 10 psig. The result will be better atomization. You might like the 305 injectors better!
