Wow, you guys are getting crap mileage. I do have a stock cam as of right now, but my car see 6k all day long. I get 180-220 miles before I hit the half mark on my tank. Average anywhere from 17-22 mpg. Even get 27 mpg on the freeway.

I replace my plugs every 10-15k with TR55s, and also have it tuned. Replace the fuel filter every 15k too. When I first got the car it had the factory plugs in it at 90k. I replaced them because I was only getting 12 mpg.

What would be the best injector to upgrade to with the CC306, with or without stock heads, in your guys opinion?

You don't need to upgrade injectors at all. The stock fuel system is fine. Maybe get a pump if you have high mileage. Just get a good tune.

Actually, my injectors are at 98% DC at WOT, meaning they are not sufficient. You typically want to see around 80% DC.


I would recommend going with either 28lb/hr or 30lb/hr SVO(ford racing) injectors. the 30lb/hr SVOs will actually flow a little more due to the increased fuel pressure in an Fbody vs stang.

I am still running the stock 24# injectors in my car but it is about time to swap to the 30#'s I already have just going to have to have it retuned. 11.20'@120mph N/A and 10.20's@132mph n2o.
