List your current mods if you can. We can't just assume 24lb injectors was your first change. What year car?
Harnessing the power you already have can also be fun unless you like spinning your tires as much as possible. Sticky drag radial tires and a better torque converter is always my first reccomendation for automatic f-body guys. Tubular lower control arms will also plant the car to the ground better.

its hard to believe just injectors would make a difference..these cars run rich from the factory so adding more fuel wouldnt help much
But unless you had something else previously done that needed fuel, its hard to say. List your mods and we'll go from there
My recommendation is holley stealth ram or other intake swap. junk that TPI its holding you back ALOT

I don't know what year car you have, but I have a stock 91 camaro with the L98 and the injectors are 24lbs. Maybe you had a few bad ones and didn't know it. Someone told me in 1990 they swithced from 22lbs to 24lbs for the injectors for the L98.

i dunno bout that, i have some SVO 19lb units that have been serving me well and we recently stabbed a set of F.A.S.T. 24lb units in a friends B4C being his stock 22s were way out of spec and it was faster for us to get a set from my work. the 24s in his car are doing great, running smoother, and not runnng rich.

And trust me when I say this again. 87-92 TPI 350 engines used 22lbs injectors stock from the factory, and so did 92-93 LT1 engines. 24lbs were used on 94-97 LT1 engines. If you have 24lbs injectors in your engine, they are larger than stock and it WILL run richer, especially at wide open throttle, with the stock computer program.

I sure hope you didnt pay for that. If so, you got screwed big time. New injectors are $350 for the set, max. And GM uses Bosch injectors, same as just about every other company, aftermarket included. Go take a look online. GMPP, Ford SVO, Accel, MSD, their injectors all look alike.
