What kinda car do you have?
What kinda mods do you have?
How much power you're looking to make?

These problems have nothing to do with injectors. Putting in bigger ones won't help.
Sounds like you have gearbox problems. If it won't kick down when you floor it, something's wrong. Take it to an auto trans specialist and see what they think.
BTW, if you wanted a fast car, an auto might not have been your best choice...

Man help him out already. Ok, sounds to me that your 7 is not running 100% to start. Ok first step is to get it to run right. Then I would suggest to basically get a straight pip back to whatever muffler(s) you want and an intake. That should be enough for what you are looking for. Most importantly do a tuneup and have a tranny shop take a look at your 7.

and then find a girl who likes it for looks and sell it to her. use the money to buy a TurboII hehe. just playing! good advice Ryde, also see if you can change that auto into a manual...or hey just sell it and buy a manual transmission rotary. automatics usually have more problems than manual from what i hear. i may be wrong so dont quote me!
