how much boost on 24# injectors? Uhhh 1-2psi depending on the rest of the setup?

Don't waste money on the FMU, just do it right and have it tuned.

Get the injectors, you can always keep any eye the sale section. I got 60 lb motrons for $320 shipped. 24 lbers are only going to **** your motor off.
