Default new fuel injectors

I am interrested in upgrading my stock fuel injectors and adding some sort of piggy back unit. Will this give me any H.P. gains, and if so what? I'm sure this has been covered before, but I couldn't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, this electronic stuff is new to me, so really do need some pointers. By the way I own a 2007 T/C.

no.

It will help if you go turbo, but not by doing just those 2 mods. Save your money and buy a turbo, or spend it on an intake and exhaust.

thats not necessarily true. adding injectors to a stock engine wont do anything, a proper tune with the stock injectors will yield a slight hp gain. it wont be anywhere near as high as going FI but if your looking for a small boost in hp a tune will suffice.

Well I was hoping for more. I'm starting to lean toward a full exhaust and Injun Intake, bolt on is more in line with what I'm looking for right now. I've read the articials on putting the DC header mods, any suggestions about the rest of the exhaust?

"injun intake???" is that a typo or some kind of fruedian slip??? lol

but no, adding bigger injectors is not neccessary if your not boosting, and i think you'll lose power because your loose fuel pressure with bigger injectors.
