Exclamation fuel injectors?

I was thinking about up gradeing my secondary fuel injectors. Any tips on what to get and what kind of a diferance it would make?

If you have an NA, it will make the car slower and you will waste more gas.

If you have a turbo, same thing unless you have raised boost past factory levels.

Thats even worse, since it makes the car run lean costing you power and gas mileage.

Let me correct that:

That's even worse, since it makes the car run super rich, wasting gas and costing power.

I thought the secondarys only initialize beyond a particular RPM? so would he be ok for everything below that rpm, but after that point would begin to rich out?
not trying to start anything, just curious.

WHY?

You've given us zero info on what model or year your car is, what mods have been done to it, whether you're having problems with the stock injectors or why you even think you need bigger injectors.

Based on this lack of info I assume you're under the impression that bigger injectors will make give your engine more power, which could not be further from the truth.

For your 86 non turbo.......leave the injectors alone and buy a wide band along with a safc and remove the excess fuel so you'll have more power.
