750's wont run w/ a stock ECU?

I was wondering, I recently bought 2 injectors from Fritz, they were origionally 550's but got worked on by RC engineering and are 750s now.

I figured hey, I have a dp and a more free flowing exaust now so I might as well just run a little rich to be safe.

So my question is, can my car handle 750 cc primary injectors on a stock ECU?

If not... well, does anyone have a good working 550 cc injector for sale?? I need it by Monday !

Nope, the stock ECU doesn't know that the injectors are enlarged so it won't be able to supply the correct fuel for your A/F ratio.

Damn, man. Bad stuff--the stock ecu definitely doesn't like running diff size injectors. Call Steve, Chris or Ihor at Gotham. The number is on the website. We should have a used set laying around. Hell, I have mine floating around, but who knows where in Steve's house they are....

IMO, unless you have a need for larger primary injectors, just get a set of standard 550's. It will save you hassles in the long run.

When you do have a need for larger primaries, do it right and get a programmable ECU like the PFC, or Haltech, etc..

Hmmm, doubt it. Steve's a pretty dang good driver. Are you referring to the dipshit that flew off of Motorsport Ranch? Because if so, that dipshit was me

Roger that. That day blew ***. My worst day at MSR by far. I need to find me some more S02s; I didn't like the damn Yoko AVS Int at all. Plus, hardly any track time. Ah well. I'm glad I was able to amuse you
