no wants 380s, it will drive but be rich on boost and cold start.. lambda sensor if functioning correct will sort it on cruise and idle.

it will lose power, foul the plugs and bore wash depending on how rich.

pointless exercise fitting bigger injectors unless remapped for them

I'm chucking some 440's at my car some time soon, *read when I pull my finger out and get them cleaned and flow checked*

Been advised by Andy that mine will run richer in the mid-range and offer some protection at the top end as opposed to the 380's being maxed out (100% IDC) >5200 rpm.

Mapped for them, is the best option, but at present for me it's not viable.

it won't learn the mods on any year.. except to go "oh my god det!!" and pull some timing and hopefully save the engine.. but no it won't realise the injectors are 60cc larger.. the newage ecu is very good and uses a wideband rather than just narrow band and will do a good job on cruise and idle but still be rich as hell on boost with bigger injectors... the narrow band the older ecu has to monitor fueling will trim some fuel off boost but won't learn on boost etc
