I would go with some mild injectors instead of DVs If you do go with DVs just pick up some 181s out of a 96-98 5 speed or auto truck. BUt your not going to make much more HP with just the DVs

I agree with 94 12v. Just pick up some 215 injectors, they are capable of supporting decent numbers. 181's would be a fine DV but there are other free/cheap mods that can be done instead. I'm sure you can find a set of used 215's for around $100. Then I'd tune your AFC, add a 2095 rack plug, and set your timing. This will allow you to still control your EGT's quite effectively as needed, but also give you some extra power as well.
