300 I6 in the truck getting some tweaks

I got a set of 19 lb injectors to replace the stock 12 lb. I'll be putting in a 3" catback,computer chip, and maybe a cam. This is in my daily driver, the '92 F150 4x2 single cab, 300 I6, 4spd manual, in metallic blue.

That oughta wake her up :hick:

Unless you're increasing the airflow of the engine why upgrade the injectors? And what computer are you going to use to run those 19-pounders? The stock computer would choke on 'em...

and if the 19s are too much then the 14's from the t-bird will go in :flame:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

ive never in my life seen somone need to upgrade injectors because of exhaust, and an air filter.

I mean shiznit, i have somewhat an exhaust, a K&N, and boost cranked up to 21psi, and my injectors are stock...i have a bigger fuel pump and adjustable fuel pressure regulator, but stock injectors, i doubt your I6 will need injectors for anything short of boost or if you actually get a head/cam setup
It's Gumby's fault.
