Devilsonic, I know you may be feeling left behind by all the quick power upgrades that all the 1.4T's are getting, but when it comes to adding horses to a naturally aspirated engine, there is no substitute for displacement. And 1.8L is not the best starting point for that quest. Adding hp by getting more flow, i.e. porting heads, bigger cams, higher c/r pistons is an expensive dragon an to chase.
I think you will get more bang for your buck by looking into nitrous, or if you can bear the expense, go the turbo route, but that will be more involved than a simple performance enhancing drug like NoS.

I am going to go the turbo route. And i dont feel left behind... but i do believe are vendors need to show a lil more love for us. and hell maybe one of are vendors can help with a turbo uprgrade. If DDM can make a turbo..i will drive 4 hrs..Just saying

OK so I used torque pro for android. I hit 6.5 gal/hr and the cat hit 1830degrees . I'm not sure how precise the torque pro is but its been right be for. That was at 6000rpm..... I a more depressing not I almost tanked a deer at 100mph doing this

So its about 39lb/hr (converted it to pounds)...so when i look for injectors, do i look for a heavier lb/hr or lighter?? with a Impedance High or Low???

 

[$ub$onic]

Higher lb injector normally means more power unless its a flew fuel there for the computer will adjust the pressure accordingly. Take a injector out and look up the sn number and you will get your pressure.
I'm gonna say 39 lb injectors in a stock non flex fuel motor is wrong. My ranger had 32 and its a flex fuel... I'm gonna say there like 16lb

ok thanks bro for the info. opcorn: but lets just say it is 16. would i double the rate?? or just go up to like 20lb - 26lb??

In my brother in laws f150 we went from 18lb (something like that it was under 20) to 26lb. With the supporting tune make a hack of a difference. Note: mpg went from 17 to 14 with the new injectors and a tune

ok well im getting about 31-33 mpg so if it drops a lil i wouldn't mind.

 

[$ub$onic]

They do make a difference if you have a tune to match

True. so if the sonic injectors are pushing about 16lb/hr then i think i would upgrade to about 25 or 26lb/hr

 

[$ub$onic]

Yep
