And you would need a tuner and custom tunes.

Keep your injectors stock, unless your supercharged and maxing out your injectors and need more fuel. It will be problems.

Requires a tune. If N/A, don't do it.

Agree. OEM injectors are fine until you start pushing 400 rwhp.

There's just no need for it, unless you have a need for it. Just making the injectors bigger on their own is useless. The stock ones can handle more than the N/A can produce. And even on Nitrous you have a separate fuel jet, no need for injectors to make up the difference.

But if you absolutely must you will need to get a tune for sure. You have to reprogram everything about the fuel injectors. Your stock computer just isnt going to figure it out on it's own.

You don't really need a new fuel pump until you go into the 400rwhp range, maybe a little bit sooner by some commendations.
