Replace and/or upgrade fuel injectors?
I've got a '97 F150 4.6 with 165k miles on the original fuel injectors. Instead of getting them cleaned, I found a good deal on new Bosch and Accel injectors. The choices are 19#, 21#, 23#, 24# and up. I know the OEM are 19#. Would there be any kind of benefit to get 21# or even 23#? FYI, I'm running a custom CAI and Borla cat-back as far as perf. bolt-ons.

JMC is right. Bigger injectors require additional changes in many instances. MAF, Chip or Recalibration and maybe even a fuel pump to get anything out of them. Your mods shouldn't require any more fuel. Now on the other hand if you are planning on making some serious changes this would be a great time to make a switch.
