Do you have any reason to upgrade injectors? If not then leave them alone. Any different size than stock will require a custom tune and not add any power.

You don't need injectors or a bigger TB. Both will be a complete waste of money for you. You will literally make 0 more hp. You can either get a ported stock type upper or a Windstar manifold. They are decent gains, but more of a finish it up mod. There are better mods you can get for the price.

rather than wasting that money.. Spend just as much on a windstar upper and a ported lower. There is no such thing as an aftermarket intake for the v6 mustang..

Yeah, unless you've got a good reason, such as FI or a built motor, it would be detrimental more than helpful to you to use bigger injectors. Also, as said, a larger TB is useless without either FI or at a minimum ported intakes.

If you plan to get a new intake or p&p yours, wait til then to get a new TB. And from there, unless you're modding to the point where the motor wants/needs more fuel, leave the injectors alone.

Couldn't agree more with v6kid. Lol. Not going to lie... I like the hood. Lol. Looks mean as hell.

TB's And injectors are for FI's more than anything. I'd spend my money on gears to help wake up the get go, and if you're automatic, a good shift kit. With a Tlok as well. No more HP, but hell of a difference.

Please, it made 1250 on a mustang dyno at 2000rpm then broke the straps they didn't want to dyno it again because they said it it would have made a full pull it may have warped the fabric of time.
