Can you upgrade injector nozzles or the entire injector?

I plan on installing ARP head studs and a fass fuel system into my truck next weekend-I figured while I'm that deep I will do all the normal oil system upgrades.

I plan in doing the south-bend clutch as well.

My question is with the fuel system and studs I am really looking to increase the power from the truck.

Can I do injector nozzles or do I have to replace the entire injector?

If so, what would you guys recommend?

No point in doing just the nozzles. The body of the injector will only hold so much fuel and if you empty it too much or too fast you'll just damage the internals of the injector. Besides that, I know an injector builder that can get 175cc's of fuel through a stock nozzle during an injection event.

As far as your question there, in November '13 issue of Diesel Power, Elite Diesel (elitediesel.net) had advertised a do-it-yourself injector kit for 6.0L. 155cc - 60 HP gain priced at $750 for a complete set.

By this, I am not disagreeing with partsman.
