So i emailed bill over at PHP to see if he can give me a deal on tunes for stage 1s, we will see how this goes. If i do have em, i jus saved $1500. If not does anyone know if it will hurt to run the tunes for bigger injectors even if i dont have them?

PS: any more good ideas for my truck to get this thread back in track :P

Exactly what Rob said. If PHP is more than you're willing to spend, e mail Jim at Rosewood diesel, he burns PHP and Beans, but I'm not sure what his pricing is. Also, BTS will do reburns for 100.

You may consider getting a few tunes for stock sticks and then get a few for stage 1's, that way in case they dont work as well your chip isn't a piece of junk till you spend MORE money lol

Yeah maybe ill get rid of my stock tune and get a 65e and 100race for stock sticks, and then do a 65e, 100p, and 140 extreme for stage 1s as well as keep my high idle. That way i have the three tunes i use the most and 3 tunes for my possible stage 1s.

You're not hearing what we are saying. There is not a snow ***** chance in hell you have stock injectors. Get what you want, but you might as well send your money to me if you're getting tunes for stock sticks. Boost just doesn't build like that off of stock injectors. No way no how.

Jim's gonna say there is no way to know for sure till he has them at his shop. If you're still not sold pull em and Robs, put Robs in yours and try as hard as you can to build boost as fast and easily as you do now and try to hit 32 psi. I'll give you my truck if you can do all that with Robs injectors.
