Installing high-flow injectors in an otherwise stock engine will not change power or fuel consumption. Unless these injectors are part of a bigger package of engine mods they are a waste of money.
More fuel does not make more power. More fuel/air mixture makes more power. You have to do something to the engine to facilitate combustion of added fuel. That might be more air (supercharger) or an oxidizer (Nitrous).

No. The fact that aftermarket injectors can flow more fuel does not mean that they will flow more fuel. The amount of fuel delivered by the injectors is determined by the fuel pressure and the signals from the Engine Control Module.

So you're saying the only reason you would have performance fuel injectors is to keep up that air/mix ratio that goes up with more air in the engine? So, max's with performance intake and superchargers and stuff....how much performance improvement could they expect with aftermarket fuel injectors?

Daniel B. Martin, if high flow injectors means you'll need more air (basicly) would a stillen intake do the trick or would you have to have NOS or a supercharger?

Bottom line... in my opinion the high-flow fuel injectors would be beneficial with a supercharger or NOS but not with any normally aspirated stock-displacement engine.
