Default injector size and tuning?

i just put a new motor in my car because i blew my last one with nitrous, I upgraded the injectors to 24lbs, not a big increase but now my friend is telling me i need a new mass air. i was under the impression a dyno tune would do it but he says no. i know a lighting mass is required with the 42lbs injectors but i only upgraded to 24.

Depends on the year of the car, if its a 96-later you dont need a maf just a tune.

You should be fine with the stock mass air...

You dont even need bigger injectors assuming its a wet kit.

you only change the MAF if you're pegging it or it's broken. 24's are fine if you like nitrous that much. Lightning MAF's aren't required with 42's. A proper tune adjustment is required after a change in injector flow rate.
