The injectors themselves won't give you any gain, but they'll allow for more extensive tuning, which in turn, if done correctly, will net you some gains.

I have a set of SS/SC injectors, but I still haven't gotten my car tuned yet, so for now they're just sitting in a box collecting dust.

Im still running my stock Infectors, just with a few tweaks in the tune I brought the IDC's down to 78% at 7000 RPM's in third gear. Bigger injectors are not need for basic bolt on's.

Thats a good one. Making a stock tune richer with bigger injectors will rob horsepower.

Agreed.

I'm going to take a guess that some newbie tuners are commanding air/fuel at levels that only a boosted car would require.

bigger injectors dont gain you horsepower, tuning them with certian supportive mods will...but in fact, even full bolt ons is not enough to support stock ss/sc injectors in my opinion..the 2.4 already runs (rich?) from stock injectors if im not mistake (could very well be mistaken)

from what ive read over 8 months its that stock ss/sc injectors are only good once u pass t he bolt ons stage and move into forced induction or internals (cams so forth) or ...nitrious???

I have full bolt ons, bigger injectors, and a tune, and Im running lean. Luckily I got HP Tuners for christmas so Ill be able to fix that. But if Im lean with bigger injectors, imagine how bad it would be with smaller injectors.

According to Tune Time you don't need bigger injectors on the 2.4 unless your boosted. The factoy ones are just fine, its the GM tune thats the problem.

Supply and demand.

Think about it.

If you have the demand for more fuel(n20, wild cams, FI) you need to be able to supply more fuel.

The only reason you gain is the tune, injectors cannot add horsepower...you are better off buying a tornado because it will make more power than a re-calibrated tune with the LSJ injectors.

Now if you go into actually tuning the car, you don't want LSJ injectors until you have a power adder, period

Look at the 3rd pic down, he is making 186 whp with basic bolt ons and retuned with the stock LE5 injectors and is at 78 idc.

It is all in the tune.
