Agreed Ken, Get sticks and a live tune! I loved my DP too. Didn't know that they were going to be out here to live tune though. Went with the TS and am looking forward to a live tune with Cale.
If you want a live tune asap then I'd say switch. If you want to live tune the DP, it looks like you will have to wait it out for a while.
But either way, Injectors are goooooood !
I would agree and say get bigger oil first, but if it comes down to money and you want injectors before a live tune, do sticks, then live tune, then oil shortly there after.

I have the T500, so that will help the oil issue. I pulled the trailer over the weekend and could maintain 3,000 psi at 42-47% DC. I have been looking into stage 1 injectors for awhile now. Since I use mine to tow, I want to keep it strong yet conservative. With PMR's I need to keep her together and not to stressed.
I talked to Jody today. They are going to be in the Tri-Cities this weekend live tuning. He said they had a slot on Saturday that he could squeeze me into. After talking with him and knowing I couldn't get injectors soon enough, I passed on the opportunity. He recommended I hold off on live tuning until I install injectors. I was curious if live tuning would make enough of a difference that I would not go with injectors (for awhile). Anyway, he did recommend a turbo upgrade too. I know the stock one is limited and it sounds like I would be better off going with a GQSSB when installing bigger sticks. Guess I need to start working OT again!
Here is a video of a 0-60 ish run pulling the trailer.

Bryce, it is an Aeroforce Scangauge. Joey sells them as well as Clay for Joey. Same as the ones Aeroforce sells, but Joey has a logo printed faceplate. It is an awesome gauge. I love having it available to monitor as I drive. When you come over for tech day you can check it out.

If I remember correctly Woodnthings has a nice write up on the scan gage.
