additional injectors
Has anyone added a tertiary injector? Where do you mount it? How did u control it?
also
Is there any particular reason that people's primary injectors are considerably smaller than the secondarys? It seems for what i have read that when people are running big injectors they only run them on the secondarys. If people were replacing all 4 injectors wouldnt it make sense to have 4 of the biggest injectors possible?

Extra injectors is a crude way to get extra fuel, because they can't be controlled nearly as well as the main ones. All extra injector controllers are pretty basic devices that were popular before fuel controllers and standalones became much more affordable. They can't bring the extra fuel in without sudden step in AFR and the adjustments are very simple, usually two trim-pots for when and how much.
The cost of bigger secondary injecectors and a fuel controller will be cheaper than buying extra injectors and a controller and then actually mounting and plumbing them, and the results will be much better.
The reason the secondart injectors are upgraded before the primaries is that smaller injectors work better than big ones at small pulsewidths, i.e. idle and low load. Most normal driving is done on just the primaries. You don't need (or want) four of the biggest injectors possible, you only need them to be safely big enough for the power your engine is making.
