Bosch type 22 lb injectors. Don't run higher on a stock or near stock motor.

Unless one or more of your injectors is not up to snuff, I don't expect you'll see a "kick" by installing new injectors.

For you to gain anything, you either have to have currently bad injectors or serious intake mods.

Otherwise it'll do nothing.

Check for coolant in the oil.

White smoke out the tail pipe can be coolant getting into the combustion chambers.

Borrow a pressure tester from AutoZone and test to see if the pressure holds. Best way to tell.

The best bet for your $$$ would be to remove the injectors and send them to Rich Jensen (Cruzin Performance) for cleaning and flow testing. You stock injectors have a good service record and placing more fuel in the cylinders (performance injectors???) does not make it go faster
