injectors

hbomb · 10-09-2005, 12:35 AM

i got a 88 gt mustang. the engine was rebuilt about 5000 miles ago, i just bought this car. i'm thinking about upgrading the injectors to 24 lbs. will the block be able to handle the extra horsepower?

Is this 88GT speed density or has it been converted to MAF?

Does this car still have stock gears and suspension? If you've still got stock gears, I would recommend putting your money to the rear, this is the quickest bang for the buck upgrade IMO.

If you truely believe that you are going to have lots of HP because you change the stock 19# injectors to 24#, then save your money and buy something that will ACTUALLY increase power.
Besides, like mustang_289 said, you won't be able to upgrade unless you have MAF
Buy aftermarket exhaust or underdrive pulleys if you want more kick or buy a set of gears. You'll be much happier.

I vote intake and C.A.R.B. instead of the M.A.F.

But, that's just me! LMAO
