What are the stock #'s/hour injectors that come with my 88 v6 maro? Will bigger injectors make my car faster? If i up my injectors will this screw with the computer? Do high flow cats really work, are they worth the money, will it make my car any faster?

I'll take a stab at this...correct me if I'm wrong guys but I think our injectors are 16 lb/hr? I would think bigger injectors wouldn't do much for you unless you were modded out..but I'd run a better fuel pump if you're going with bigger injectors. The stock cat converter is crap..you should notice something running a high flow.

Didn't someone put in higher flow injectors with minimal mods and end up removing them because there were making the car hitch, and not idle well etc.

Anyway exhaust is the best first mod for the $$$.

I think they used larger Ford injectors or something..I forget.. But basically pun, don't bother with injectors unless you've got a bunch of fouled up ones. In that case, well, I doubt bigger injectors would do anything to help you out. The lb/hour rating means they're CAPABLE of that, but they're probably not gonna use that much..if the computer is half as smart as it thinks it is, it'll realize they're bigger and cut back on injector output to keep the air/fuel ratio in line. And I agree with Joe 110%...do exhaust first. Work your way around from there. Exhaust, intake, and ignition are always good beginning mods. That's what my plan is..with a tad bit of engine work along the way because stuff needs to be done so, might as well..
