I agree w/ Mars 302,buy a Pro-M or something comparable,and upgrade injectors only if needed,You need .5 lb. of fuel to make 1 HP so the 19's are good to the 400 Crank HP at 40 PSI and near max duty cycle.

There is definately no sense in ditching an A9P or an A9L for a X3Z computer. X3Z computer kinda sucks, not that it matters because you really wouldn't be going more than a 24 # injector. But it is burned in the ECU to utilize a 24 # injector. So if you ever wanted to use something bigger you would have to have that flashed out of the ECU.

You are very correct sir, but the point I was making was that a cobra computer has 24 # injector use calibrated INTO the ECU. So if you are going with a nice setup it is only smart to have that flashed out. It doesn't matter if you use C&L or Pro-M and you use 30 # injectors. If the ECU detects more fuel than a 24 # injector provides it will as a failsafe it will be more lean the mix, which is dangerous. Because it will act as if maybe your FPR took a dump. See what I'm saying? I was actually referring to a degrading factor of the X3Z ECU.

You can get an A9L computer for $100-$150
Used CL 73mm MAF for $100 or less
The conversion harness for like $50-$80
and if you wanted to, 24# injectors for $100


cheaper and better parts

you'll aslo need the maf bracket as well
well i have many bolt ons (heads, cam, intake, etc) and im still using the stock #19 injectors, and was gonna get a 150-200 shot. So i was gonna upgrade the injectors and maf. Why would i need to get an A9L computer isnt that calibrated for #19 injectors also?

No A9L does not have that problem. What ECU do you have now? Do you even need to replace the computer. If you just want an injector and MAF upgrade get 24# injectors and a Pro-M Meter. The injectors are 219.95 through summit the meters are usually like 229.95. 24# is all you need. Seeing as you have heads, cam, intake 24# would be perfect, now if you had some more compression like 10.5:1 or higher I would say go with 30#. Hope that helped.
