Probably not. But modded with a target of around 300+ hp and type mods like a hot cam and high ratio rockers I would say yes. The problem with unnecessary deviation from the stock injectors is most likely loss of fuel economy and the fuel injection system would be forced into a fuel trim lean/rich mode having to compensate for emissions purposes. Working overtime to keep the air/fuel mixture ratio at that ideal 14.7:1. Plus in most cases the PCM module fuel injection tables would have to be modified for the bigger injectors. I guess the bottom line is the engine would run like crap.
