Stock injectors can only deliver so much fuel so even if you have it on 140hp setting it will not matter. Stock injectors only deliver 90cc's of fuel, if the 140hp setting is calling for 150cc's of fuel, its just not there.

Even if it were possible you can get a whole set of stage 2 remans from Jim for half of the price of stock 6.0l injectors. The cost of injectors is 75% of the reason I bought a 7.3 and am getting rid of my 6.0l.

Jim at Rosewood Diesel. He's a forum sponsor here. That's where most of us go for our injector needs. If you scroll to the top of the page there's a little link to his site.

Yes, but often times the premium build is necessary due to the shape of our older injectors.

Right. Hopefully they are ok. My trucks got 140,000 miles. Maybe they wont be to bad.

I had 1 more question. I was reading about intakes and k&n's are bad for the 7.3? The 6637 intake seems good and all but I want something more stylish even thou it sounds silly. What's the next best intake then?
