If you're doing injectors you might be able to get a air dog 150 for a few extra bucks....just a thought and would probably be worth it if your planning more mods.

You should get whatever the injectors are rated for. Some are a bit generous in their ratings, but I would think you will get the full amount. You will probably see a bit more smoke, as more fuel=more smoke. You should notice a slight increase in power, although 65hp will not set you back in your seat very much...
Enjoy your new BOMBs

It's about 4hrs for the VP44, another couple of hours for the lift pump, and maybe an hour or so for the injectors. Play it safe and bank on a weekend.
