There are two ideas that are the same thing:

1. More throttle response
2. Touchier throttle

More throttle response does not automatically equal more power.

Nice read...

looks like i have stock injectors if i remember right



when upgrading to a better injector, will it automaticly squirt in more fuel, or will the computer restrain it so it doesnet flood the engine?

Great bolt-on info! I think the mods would have worked even better if the stock 5.0 they were testing did not have the stock h-pipe with 4 catalytic converters. Mods usually respond better when other mods are present.

You will either need a MAF for the larger injectors or have the ecm chipped for them or it will usually deliver 19# pulse widths to 24# injectors causing a rich condition.
