Why are you going bigger on the cam?? What cam is in there now? With just a cam swap,you should be ok with the stock injectors. But, if your going to rebuild it, put in a bigger cam, and some other goodies, it might be worthwhile to go up on the injector size. But, to go up on the injector, you have to have a mass air thats calibrated for the new injectors. So, if you havent already, you might want to consider using a bigger mass air sensor, and also running slightly larger injectors( i dont know what mods you have as of now, so i dont know what injector size is right for you).

Why replace the cam? If you are not changing the heads and the intake it's not worth it. See my sig for what you can do w/ the stock cam...

Thanx, I haven't done anything to it right now, I am considering a cam because I love the lope sound. Should I not get a cam?

I wouldnt get a cam "first". Too much work, for a small gain. spend the money on exhaust stuff,pulleys,cold air intake,you know, the simple stuff.

If you don't plan on doing heads and an intake manifold, the cam will only give you the lopey idle. You won't gain any worthwhile performance out of it.

If you haven't done gears yet, that should be your next serious mod.
