Default Are there benefits from larger injectors?

I wanted to know if there are gains to larger injectors? If so what are they and what size would you recommend for the 3.8L?

Injectors themselfs will not add any HP unless you have modded you motor beyond the the max HP of your origianl injectors can handle. Unless you are hitting 280+ HP your stock injectors are fine.

you can lose power if the injectors are not flowing correctly. not a bad idea to have them cleaned and flow tested once in a great while. say 50 or 60k miles.
