I drive a 94 GT that is slightly upgraded with equal length headers, H-Pipe, cat back exhaust, 65mm TB, K&N Filter, Trickflow Street Intake, BBK fuel preasure regulator, MSD Blaster Coil, Mach Pulley set, 155lph fuel pump, & a smog delete. I am thinking about installing 24lb injectors and a 24lb MAF. My first question is, do I really need to upgrade to 24lb injectors?? If I do upgrade, how badly will it kill my gas milige (I get around 17 city right now)? Also, with this little of modifications will I even get any more power out of the engine? I dont plan on doing anything else to this engine so future planning is not an issue. Any suggestions would be great!

First of all....WELCOME TO STANGNET

You dont "need" to upgrade with ht mods listed. You wont get more power from the injectors...the money would be better spent on a set of pulleys or put towards gears... The mileage will drop a little, but it depends on how you drive it.

BTW...we say "slightly modded" not "upgraded"

I assumed he was just gonna get a new calibration...but he may pick up a couple (insignificant IMO)

Yes he would ...... but the focus is on the word ...... "few".

I agree with RC in the fact that his $$$ would be better spent elsewhere.

If we are talking about ProM mafs ...........................................

A 19lb caled maf is not too good of an idea cause when you get to the point of needing larger inj's your maf needs to be recaled which just takes more of your money. And the sad part of the whole 19lb caled maf deal is that you only gained that "few" hp.

IMHO, the best gain for the $$$ spent is to upgrade the maf & inj's together.

Now if your gonna go with a C & L maf then that is a different story but my first choice ...... no strike that ...... my ONLY choice is ProM.

Do NOT get bigger injectors and a MAF. Your stock stuff is fine. An aftermarket set just adds more things to the car that can go wrong. 24's really aren't "needed" until you're pushing around 300hp usually.

EDIT: Oh yea, welcome to stangnet!

until you install heads and a cam, you can get by with the 19's and a little bump in the fuel pressure. as far as the MAF goes, i would wait until you do the rest of the mods and need the injectors. as was said already, sending it out to be recalibrated and costing more money isnt worth the small performance gain you would get from making the MAF swap now.
