i recently put a brand new upper plenum and lower intake on my 94 mustang gt along with an E303 cam shaft with the 498 lift. besides those parts i have an H pipe, flo masters, and a 70 mm throttle body. after recieving the car back from the shop the mechanic told me i needed more fuel or the car wouldnt run right. i have the stock 19 lb injectors in and ive seen all over that was no problem for me. the 97 cobra comes sotck ith a lift of something like 488 with 19 lb injectors and runs fine. also in magazines i see where people are running bigger lifts and heads with the same lifters and in one it said the guy added 24 lb injectors although its not neccessary. the mechanic told me i need 55 lb injectors which i know is crazy. he also didnt set the timing advanced or retarded for it after the parts were installed. he put it back to zero. the harmonic balancer was messed up although he didnt tell me til the next day when i broguht it back so i bought a new one of those and my dad and i put that on becuase we dont trust them anymore. i also put 8 new spark plugs in and a new performance timing chain. the car runs alot better now then it did. and i think all i need to fix is the timing. can you help me out by letting me know the timing it needs to be set at or i should set it at? and also do i need bigger injectors or do you recommend bigger injectors and what size? i also purchased a performance mass airflow calibrated for the 19 lb injectors and a venom 400 control module. the guy said a performance chip and a mass air sensor would help alot and i already boguht those just waiting for them to come in. with all those parts on and the timing set right shouldnt this car work? it is also a manual if you needed to know that. thank you for your time and feel free to email me any information you think i need that would be helpful to me and about my car. thanks again

You got a 94GT with the following:

Intake
e cam
70 tb
h pipe
catback

If I got those correct then the stock inj's and maf will be ok until you get a good bit more air flow from more mods.

As for spark, I would bump it up a couple of degrees and check for ping and repeat the process until you here ping and then back off a couple.

Later
