ninth injector ?'s

i heard that taking off the ninth injector is an easy way to add hp. i was wondering if there are any drawbacks to taking it off.

Re: ninth injector ?'s

Don't think it will add any horsepower. It is only active on cold starts. It can be removed, but you will want to re-program your ECM to switch the cold starting characteristics to the other 8 injectors. Net result is probably better cold starting, and maybe improved mileage ( 9th injectors are notorious for leaking).
