with stock injectors, i do believe that your advantage is zero. and with a stock or mostly stock engine, there is no need for extra fuel so really, upgrading your injectors isnt worth the money. in the end for most people, its just a cosmetic change.

The factory fuel log will be good up until you need lots of fuel (re: lots of horsepower). For a basic, low-boost turbo setup upgrading the injectors would be more efficient.

I've seen motor setups in the 400hp range running on the stock fuel rail. Most of the time people buy fuel rails to bore out the fuel injector ports to accomodate bigger injectors. As for a decrease in gas mileage, having a slightly bigger channel for a few inches isn't going to hamper the consumption of fuel.

I agree, there is not point to them on honda engines except to look nice under the hood. my buddies boosted 6th gen accord is running over 300whp, fully upgraded internals, bigger injectors, and stock fuel rail. he says the stock fuel rail can handle his fuel needs no problem.
