The Ford SVOs are very popular and Racetronix makes a good set as well. Have you done any major upgrades to require the stepped up injectors? If you are on a stock or bolt-on motor and do decide to go with the injectors, you will need to have your PCM tuned accordinally to avoid running excessively rich.

Why do you need new injectors, IOW do you need larger injectors or is there a problem with your current injectors? You can get a set of stock size injectors pretty cheap, but OTOH most old injectors can be cleaned, have the screens and O-rings replaced, and be as good as new.

If you have access to get it tuned, get the 30lbs, because you will need to get your computer reprogrammed for the larger injectors. Otherwise, get a set of 24lb injectors.

Your mods won't require 30# injectors. The Ford SVOs do come in 24# configurations as well, but as mentioned above, a stock replacement set would work just as well and most likely be cheaper. If you do want the SVOs, Thunder Racing, one of the supporting vendors sells them as does Jegs and Summit.

Where are you getting your recommendations for mods? Seems like you are going down the wrong path. I think most people here would agree that descreening the MAF sensor serves no purpose at all, and adding a 58mm throttle body to what is basically a stock engine is not a good mod. Neither will provide much in the way of performance gains.

You made a good move with the K&N intake. Before spending money on things like a 58mm TB, get a good exhaust system for it.... you will actually gain some power.

Right now, you aren't even beginning to stress your stock 24#/HR injectors.

Listen to injuneer, he knows his stuff...the 58mm tb will not gain you anything really untill you start aproaching the 400rwhp mark, then it's needed. And don't touch the MAF!!! haha. When you upgrade injectors the only thing that will compensate for larger ones is in the computer. The injector constant NEEDS to be changed or the car will not run right at all.

My uncle has a set of Accel 26# injectors for sale. He had them on his car for 379 miles and the engine developed a problem not related to the injectors. He wants $200 shipped.
