26lb to 28lb?

If going from 26lb to 28lb would I need a tune?

yes, you'd run richer. but why would you take the time to swap them for 28s?

My car didn't drive any differently, but it already needed a tune. I was told the stock tuning could compensate for that small of an injector size change.

Keep your stockers in there for now, save up, injectors should be next on your list if you can. Nice setup

I dunno if I'd hose it on either set of injectors...

Thanks for all the input guys. Thing is, I havent even got to work this month. Meaning no money and that means all the money I have is for bills and lord knows I have enough of them. So I am going the cheap route for the moment. They have to be better than my 26s for now. Right?

You won't notice a difference really, lay off the spray and you should be ok until you can afford some bigger injectors. Just trying to look out for you man, hope the job situation works out

You and me both on the job. It wouldnt be that bad I just tore my tranny out and have to pay for it today and all kinds of other crap. Im not really doing the injector change for performance. The car seems like it runs lean up top and I just now got around to changing intakes, so I thought it would be a good time to change injectors. Thanks for your help and concerns.

This is correct. But your sig. clearly states that it is a wet shot. You still need a good functioning fuel system though. But for the rest of your problems, I'd change to the 28's and see if they help any, then go from there.
