Time for bigger injectors

Well, my car will be running shortly and 3.1 fuel injectors seem wimpy so what kind/# of injectors should I get? I will have an open exhaust at the headers till I get my pacesetter headers, custom Y-pipe and a dynomax catback. Mods in siggy

Shut up and go get my harness so I can prepare for new injectors I would think 350 injectors would make my car run rich?

Any injector will make your car run rich, or lean, unless you recalibrate the prom. You might look into that, otherwise, a set of 19s are what you need. Ford 5.0 HO (Mustangs) or 305 TPIs

FYI-From what I hear, the Ford injectors have a better design than the GM injectors.

Ha ha....hey, they all work the same. Just different pintle designs, thats the difference. I hear the F*rd injectors have better pintle designs so they atomize and deliver the fuel better.

[Off topic]
It's funny how I used to be F*rd prejudiced too..til I bought one! I had respect for that old motor. Yeah it was a POS...it had been BEATEN for 147,000 miles....run on nitrous.. Had a cylinder low on compression. Had gone many miles it seemed without oil changes. Burned a quart every 1000 miles. Was filled up with sludge. Ran 14.5 at 95. Not bad for a motor on its last leg eh?

The way I look at it...once you own one, then you've got the right to give them sh*t all the time. Lol...my buddy Dave and I have a running joke. Dave has an 11 second stang, N/A and non-nitrous.....2 mpg on race fuel only... It's not a joke really...it's just funny because he's got one of the baddest @ss cars on the road here and he's always agreeing with me when I say "G*d d*mn Fords!"

I said 305s because there is no Fords at the JY I go to (GM Sports Salvage) and I also owned a Ford (89 Thunderbird) never bashed it once and it never caught on fire unlike both my Camaros!
