what injectors to use?
My mph is low in the quarter (13.30 @99 with a 1.75 60ft leaving from an idle) and the car stops pulling on top end and think it might not be getting enough fuel? I still have 19lb injectors and the original MAF. Im getting ready to buy a Pro-M MAF so i was gonna upgrade injectors at the same time if needed? But with these mods what injectors should i be using? Would i gain anything by going with a 24lb?

24's would be enough but if you plan on any future mods I would go with 30#.

So do you think that the 19's are holding me back any right now? Im planning on plenty of future mods so ill go ahead with the 30's. Will this affect gas mileage any?
thanks for your help |

How much Fuel pressure are you getting at the Top end?
I have seen a bunch of people get into the LOW 12's with 19's. I would make sure the the Fuel Pressure regulator is working correctly along with the fuel pump first. Also The convertor has a lot to do with how the top end turns out. Mine falls on its face at the top ennd because of my converter but I will HOPEFULLY get that taken car of soon!

Another thing that might be holding you back is the Stock Mass air meter. I run 19#s and I get 109 MPH on motor. I think it is the stock Mass air meter.

Before you spend on a MAF get a fuel press reg and a guage. This will help you for the rest of your mustang days. Start at 39psi. Make 3 passes, then go up 2psi. If you pick up speed or ET go up again untill you see no gain. If you never see a gain you sure don't need 24s. What does your car weigh? I can't run nothing but 19s and I have been as fast as 113mph with them. At the time I should have had 375HP and supposably you can't do that. I never knew it though.
