88V6

An 88" V6 is not multiport injected like the magnum motors. The fuel is
mixed
in the throttle body.

>By keeping the V-6 stock injectors you'll not give the engine an overly
shot of fuel. This would be the same as over-carburating in the older
vehicles. That's whats nice about a computered vehicle. It will sense an
abundance of AIR coming into the intake and automatically enrichen(hold
the
injectors open an extra micro-second or longer) the mixture will be the
same
as swapping to a larger carburator and you will(should) pass all the
sniffers. You may have to enlarge the V-6 hole openings for the
butterflies
though.If after you do a sniffer test and pass with excellence then I
would
experiment with injectors, but watch out--they're expensive. Hope this
helps.
