CROSSING FINGERS!!!

i just bought some NGK V-power ZFR5f-11 for my VX swap. It had the crappy Bosch Platinums in it that you said suck. Hoping this will up my power on highway driving in lean burn to stay in it longer.

Just drove 1.62 miles home from advanceauto, got 53mpg. (That is if these injectors have the same pulse as the previous motor. I thought both were 240cc. I hope honda didn't change the injectors, cuz i'm happy with 53mpg in town. Just gotta figure out this highway problem.
