3.1 fuel injectors in a 2.8?
I was thinkin' (and please understand my understanding of fuel systems is limited)...
I'll run rich if I put injectors for a larger engine into my 2.8, right? Of course.
But what if I've done stuff like upgraded camshaft, rockers, springs, etc.? Are 15# injectors ok then? Are they recommended or not? I don't wanna upgrade stuff in my 2.8, put it back together, and find out I'm runnin' lean.
Thanks.

Both sets tested at 15 pounds/hour. I don't know where people get the idea the stock injectors for 2.8 are 13#.

I was gonna get my injectors cleaned. But then I figured it would be a waste of money if they weren't even the right injectors after I fixed up my car.
Right now my Bird is crashed but still runs ok. I think what it needs most (mechanically) is cleaned injectors and new exhaust (+ headers ).
