I don't think you have enough mods to really see a HP increase, though the should be further away from their max. Now, what do you guys recommend for 400-500RWHP?

Complete waste of money and you could do more damage than good... IMHO, leave the stock ones unless you do a head and cam job...

:iagree:

The only time you need to up the injectors is when you mod the engine and make more power
