What are you doing to tune the ECU?

Before you can even worry about more gas, you have to figure out how to tell the ECU what's happening.

So, before swapping injectors (and no, my book says that they're the same size!), you need to get into that ECU so you can tell it about the injectors you're putting on.

You need to send it off and get it re-programmed or buy a Mopar performance ECU.

OP does not understand that getting more air in does nothing without supporting mods to the heads and exhaust. The computer will compensate if it thinks there is too much air. More air/fuel in does not equal more power. Simply will run rich.
