Default Throttle Body/Injector Upgrades

My question is about throttle body to injector ratios I have an '01 XJ 4.0 HO I6 that is my daily driver but is also my build vehicle with Rough Country 4.5" lift, K&N intake and some other upgrades but i recently installed the BBK 62mm throttle body and love the throttle response it gives me but i've been really curious; Did i do more harm than good? I've heard that bored out throttle bodies are great for throttle response and a tiny bit of HP but i would really like to know, to gain the most benefit from this "should" i upgrade my injectors to keep the air/fuel ratio optimal? If so what should i upgrade my injectors with, i've heard about 18lb injectors but i would really like to see some numbers if anyone has worked out the formulas to get the most from this awesome bolt on upgrade Also: Yes it whistles. TB + Intake= pretty cool sounds IMO. Thanks All!

For thease threads your engins would be regarded as stock.

^^Correct. The 784's can easily be found in 98-01 Neon's/Stratus's/Caravan's with the 2.4 engine. 703's can be found in the same Chrysler/Dodge vehicles with the 2.0. If you can't/don't want to go to the JY and do the work yourself, there's a few guys on here that sell the "upgrade injectors" for $60 a set.

You can run either 703's from Chrysler 2.0 engines, or the Ford "yellow stick" 700/710's. I have a set of the yellow sticks if you're interested.

$60 shipped. That's for them to be ready to install. If you want them untested and without new o-rings it's $45.

The PCM or ECU will compensate for the increased air volume. No need to change the injectors to a larger size. There's plenty of "headroom" in the stock injectors unless you're building a stroker or using forced induction.

784s.

Benefits: Better gas mileage, better starts, better idle.

We basically have one hole that sprays fuel, these have four holes that spray fuel. You get a cleaner more refined spray that can be processed smoother and faster. Or something to that sort.
