Subject:      How much power can a stock FI make?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

I am considering building a 2.1 long block with some minor performance enhancements such as ratio rockers, lightweight valve train and ceramic-coated heads and pistons, aircraft-grade head bolts and some other anti-leakage measures. I would install this 2.1 in place of my 1.9 since I am just over 150K on an untouched motor.

The question: How much can my stock 1.9 fuel injection handle? What improvements can I make before I need to replace/upgrade my FI system? Am I looking at larger injectors and or just a fuel pressure regulator?

Any wisdom is appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris.
