Properly tuned & sized within reason of expected actual HP, you should see no difference. If you go way oversized, atomization at low speed will suffer & possibly reduce your mileage.

Size them for for the true power output of the engine & do not think big injectors will make more power.... injectors do not make power, they only support the power that the engine can actually make.

It is all in the tune.

HP uses fuel, no injectors.
