Because the original thread had to do with a Powerstroke diesel.....not a gasoline engine.....and higher-flowing injectors make a HUGE difference in power on a diesel. His main intent was figuring how much additional power he could make with his 96 Powerstroke and which tunes to get on his Phoenix. He needs a higher fuel rate than his stock injectors can give him to make much more than 60-80 additional rear wheel horsepower.
Being that you know so much about injectors, when is a good time to upgrade your injectors. When you upgrade what parts exactly should you be looking into more fuel delivery?Are we talking now about gasoline or diesel? Larger injector usage would be anytime you have the capability of making more horsepower than the original fuel injectors are capable of supplying like when using forced induction, nitrous oxide, or the capability to run substantially higher RPM. Horsepower is absolutely dependent on how much fuel you can burn. The more fuel you can burn in a given amount of time and at a given RPM, the more horsepower you'll make.

Hope this helps.
