    should be able to... IIRC my 3100 with 19lb/hr injectors had a 75% duty cycle around 4000-4200 running on the old PCM...

    so as long as you keep it out of that range you should be fine...

      I wonder how well DOHC injectors would do on it... Yes, my Ranger does have a 2.3l that has more spark plugs than my LQ1... Running wise, it is in tip top shape though, despite having 180k+ on the clock. One of my later pulling victims in it was a 98 GMC Envoy, fully loaded in the rain Can you say fish tail at every takeoff? It sounds like Roberts inlaws has the 3.45 gears or worse in the rear. My gas mileage hasn't changed since the 3.73's and the last time I checked (over a year ago) it was around the 21-24 range which tells me Ford did a really bad job trying to put gears in there that matched the truck/engine combo.

        That's what I wanted to know. I guess I'll put the 2.8 injectors in it for now, and hope it will do okay on the strip..., I mean highway! LOL!

          Oh BTW, I noticed both your z34 and SofaKings z34 have the those hood vents, were those standard for those cars? I think they look cool.

            Well if you have someone to tune it, I could probably donate a set of injectors to the cause since I have 4 sets, and 3 engines. 1 set/engine in the 92, 1 set/engine in the 91, 1 set/engine on the stand, and a set that came with my 96 top end.

            Yes, hood vents, ground effects and rear spoilers are stock on Z34's.

              they also come with a healthy serving of factory sexiness...

                The 3.4 injectors won't work with the 2.8 ECM, unless it is tuned. I would need to find a way to get the car to Superdave, the only guy I know of that could do it. I'll have to put the 2.8 injectors in until I can get to Dave's.

                I'd have to give you something for the injectors, I can't accept something like that for free.

                    I'm not worried about money for them. I have more injectors then what I need, lol. You have a budget. If this little bit can help you out without hurting your budget, and I have spares sitting around here, it's really no problem Besides, ever hear the saying don't look a gift horse in the mouth? Although, if you start calling me Mr. Ed, you can forget it.

                            Are you uploading them from your computer files or are you uploading them from a website like flickr or photobucket. I don't have an account for anything like that.

                              whenever you see "attached thumbnails" at the bottom of a post, its directly from the computer... i use photobucket from time to time though...

                              thought: what size are they, dimension and file size? there are limits that show up when you click the add attachment button....

                                Oh.... now I see the attachments button.

                                Oh well, I created a Flickr account. Thanks for your help anyway.
