You may be able to program the PC to run with the larger injectors, but there
would be a lot
of negative numbers. I once tried to run a stage II evo with a stage I ecm and
it belched black smoke and fouled the plugs. I would say the ECM software would
be
the best way to go with the new injectors.

SE-3 isn't bad at all, but I don't like how the torque comes on like a switch
about 3000 rpm.
I prefer the SE-4 myself, with a little more compression, maybe 9.5:1. With the
power
commander and a dyno, you may be able to run upwards of 10:1 with a tight
squish.
