The lid might add 5-10rwhp but adding injectors does not add hp unless you are already running out of injector. Larger injectors give you the ability to provide enough fuel for extra horsepower.

Make that 42# injectors. My bad. I was running out of fuel at 6800 rpm on the factory injectors and air lid. Now with the 42# and new lid they did some data logging. I just thought maybe a lil more air and fuel would bump up 15-20 horses.....but

if you ran out of fuel at 6k you might make more with injectors, but since it wasnt till 6800 i doubt youll see any gains from the injectors unless you were extremely lean top end on the stockers.
