    You would gain some but IMO not enough to justify spending the money on dyno tuning. Scott may have a baseline type file that he can burn without having to dyno that will get you a bit more oomph and not cost as much. You do not mention what you would be using for tuning, ie: crome, uberdata, VAFC???? When you get cams to add to that list that's when I would definately get it on the dyno to tune.

    I would check with digitalboxtuning (Scott) and see if maybe he has a file for it. If he does I'm sure he could burn you a chip for a small fee that would do well for you.

    if you went back to the stock injectors i more than likely have a file that'll work.
