I recommend that you buy an obd2 scanner so that you can monitor your fuel trims, a wideband o2 sensor pre-cat so that you can monitor your afrs, and either an adjustable map(strokedjeep.com sells a cheap one), a piggyback controller(AEM, Split Second, Apexi, etc), or a full stand alone(AEM EMS, Accel DFI, etc), so that you can dial in/out fuel. You'll find out rather quickly if the injectors you have are cutting it with the info from the scanner and wideband o2. -fuel trims mean pcm is pulling out fuel, +fuel trims mean that it is adding it. You want the fuel trims as close to zero as possible and then a WOT with an AFR of 12.5-.8:1 for best power in an NA app.
