I heard on this forum somewhere that stock 2.3L N/A injectors are only adequate to 117hp. I have 19# injectors, 5.0L throttle body, and was going to pick up a stock 5.0L MAF. Will this combo work on my 92?

A 5.0 mass air is not gonna work on a 2.3L...and I think n/a 2.3L's probably have 19 lb injectors on them already (and if not, it's gotta be close to that).

Why do you want bigger injectors anyway? Putting bigger injectors on a n/a 2.3L is not gonna do much of anything without supporting mods.

I realize that, but I did read that you'll run out of injector pretty quick once you start modding. And that the N/A 2.3 has like 14#ers

Unless that TB is from a Mustang, it's the same size as the standard 2.3 TB, 50mm. Bigger injectors will work great for you... as soon as you start turning your 2.3 about 6500-7000 rpm.

Maybe I want to turn 6500-7000 in the future. Maybe more than that. So what could I use for a MAF. Granatelli?

Honestly, you're not gonna find any aftermarket mass air meters that will just go right on a 2.3L. You might be able to mess with the computer and hook up a 5.0 one, but I have no clue how you would do that (some turbo guys are putting on a MAF in place of the VAM, I don't know how though)
