There's really no need for bigger injectors unless you're planning on a
Supercharger for the V6 (even then Paxton suggested a matched set instead).
I've called around and spoken with a few reputable sources and all of them
didn't recommend the 24lb injectors for the V6. A Matched Set for the V6
would work much better. (That's next on my list after the headers.)

With the Roller Rockers, you'll need to change the springs as well
(according to Crower) to prevent coil bind.

4.10 Gears....there ya go!! They work bitchin' in the V6's. (Even without
BIG tires) ;)

The rest of the mods work pretty good (haven't done anything yet with my
intake manifold...I'm waiting to see how the extrude honing works on them).

Hey. I have a v6 97 auto and it's pathetic at 17.4. (with fun go fast
mods)
 well. I want and like the idea of the bigger injectors.. how much do new
injectors cost? and would I need to upgrade mr. computer?
