Better mpg and hp smoother idle. The ford injectors have way better atomization charicturistics. If you have had the heads off a magnum motor after they have been ran for a few miles you can see the injector shoots a solid stream of fuel right up against the side of the port and the fuel runs down the bottom of the port and never has a chance to get atomized. The ford injector has 4 nozzles pointing in different directions but similar flow numbers (the 5.4 is actually a little more flow and I think the 4.6 flows a little less). I had 4.6 injectors on a 95 5.9 and it seemed to smoothe it out and help MPG but hurt power a tad, the 5.4 injectors put the power back up how it was before but it still ran smoother and mpg was better. The plug ins were the same for quite a few years but I don't know how the new plug ins are shaped on the newer skinny injectors.
The accel injectors have an even better spray patter it is a cone and no streams.

I have a 92 5.2, and it has a lot of power, but always would like more, and if I can get better mpg while doing it, then that's cool too. So you would suggest using the 5.4l injectors in an application like mine with a 92 5.2, I also have a 95 5.2 would they work for that too?
If you are still running the stock computer I have a extra performance computer that is a big improvement.My 93 5.2 Sport 2WD regular cab with 2.5 exhaust and 3.55 sure grip will smoke just about any stock 5.0 Mustang.
