Default 24# or 30# injectors

I pesently have Bosch-Ford 24# injectors and need to replace at least one so I amgoing to replace all of the with injectors from New Era Performanmce.
I can't decide whether to change to 30# injectors or not
If I do will I need a new chip and what does it do to perfromance and gas mileage?

Stick with 24s. 30 is way too much injector.

Bosch or Accel or FMS injectors. I bought a matched set for Accel injectors from Summinracing for $228 or so. They work great.

I bought accel's two years ago I hated them the car ran like crap I sold them on ebay a week later and put my stockers back in. I just put in the Ford #24's from Jegs and the car runs great. They were $218 and I had them in a day.

Either will work but unless you want to reporgram the chip just stick the same size as the stockers back in.

I went through this about a week ago on this forum and will end up sending mine to get rebuildt at cruzinperformance. But I guess in 88 they had realy good injectors. It's going to cost only about 100.00 for a perfict match set.Nice guy very helpful. Make sure thats the problem first.
But I was told also to use the ford #24 and no reprogaming needed unless to go 26-30 range.

Good luck, Jeff
