Education Time! Injectors????

What injectors should I look at if I would like to upgrade? What else should be a part of this upgrade project? I am thinking injectors and upgrade fuel delivery system.

How much hp is your goal? There's alot of supporting mods you need to do first that depends on your budget and hp goals. Manual trans or automatic? There's alot more to it than just throwing in big injectors if you plan on anything bigger than stage 1's. You can get by with stage II's on a stock truck but you wont get their full potential. Even with stage ones alot of guys still need an upgraded oil system

Stage 1 is what I am thinking. Transmission is already built for some additional power.

You'll want to eliminate the troublesome stock fuel system. Convert to your choice of available conversion kits or build a DIY system. There are a number of choices as far as injectors go. You should plan your tuning strategy with that in mind.

Your stock fuel system is enough for stage ones but ya, electric fuel is better.

Jim at rosewood diesel gets my vote for injectors.

I would definitely look into either Rosewood or Full Force. Both guys are great to deal with.

Not sure what tuning you have but send that out for a reburn while before you order the injectors.

Just a TS Performance 6 position chip... Injectors will be a 3 month goal. I plan to do the fuel system next after some further reading...

TS chip can be re-burned for your new sticks. I think most tuners (maybe not dp though, I think they have their own chip?) I know tony can do them, he re-burned my TS back in the day

To get the most out of your injectors, you will want to get it reburned by a custom tuner like TW, Gearhead, PHP, Elite, Tyrant, Beans, Swamps etc...

Depends on tuning and the condition of the HPOP. Mine does just fine at WOT with 1's...

I agree an hpop is more necessary than the elec fuel to start with since you're going stage ones. You won't be able to fully use the injectors till you have an upgraded one. Especially if you tow anything heavy.
