They're Ford Motor Sport 19lb/hour injectors. Neon injectors are a better upgrade though. It'll get you 1-2mpg

Whats different about these injectors in comparison to the stockers? Are the pound per hour rating different or the number of orifices in the end of the injector different? Will it give you some power along with better mpgs?

its the spray pattern. stock XJs have single hole injectors. the Neon injectors have a 4 hole spray. They flow pretty darn close to stock injectors at stock fuel pressure. They'll give you a little bit more power and you'll gain about 1-2mpg.

It still using the same amount of fuel through the injectors, just dispersing it more evenly producing a cleaner burn.
