Default Throttle body and Injectors

What injectors and throttle body are best to upgrade to? I wanna keep it mild so I lose as little as mpg as possible. Thanks for the input

i have used a 52mm tb and 30# injectors. minimal gains without cam and headers to support. did help to have it tuned.

a throttle body won't do much without internal upgrades. also, a throttle body won't do much good without a ported intake. why do you think you need bigger injectors?

i think you'd be wasting your money if you bought these things without other engine mods

If you want mild, you should get your intake manifold and heads p&p, and get a nice mild cam.

Any suggestions on those? Really, my goal is to get to a solid 350hp and stay there for a while

I would say talk to Lloyd Elliot at Elliot's Portworks. He knows what you need for what you want. I say shoot him an email or give him a call and see what he offers. I'm talking to him about the build I plan on having and he has been more than helpful.

talking to lloyd would be a good start if you already have headers coming. personally, i'd suggest a full cat back exhaust system. but after that we are talking cam and heads
