Stage 1 injectors

After replies to my last post(thanks guys), I decided to suck up a few hundred bucks and do injectors and returns when I do my IP. I was reading about Stage 1 injectors on the DPS web site. They sound like a no-brainer, are they? Will they affect my mpg? $48 for more power sounds too good to be true!

Thanks

Re: Stage 1 injectors

I dont have mine yet so I cant answer directly, but after reading about them and knowing Ken's reputation for quality parts I had no doubts that I was going to go that rout. After talking to Ken I am assured that these are the "way to go". I say go for it.

Re: Stage 1 injectors
