General Mods Question
Since I have to have my injectors rebuilt I am stuck with the stock/stage 1/stage 2 delima. I am planning on getting another truck and putting the rebuilt injectors in the new truck.
I plan on doing the following mods at minimum to the new truck:
If I stay stock or maybe even stage 1's I might move the 1.0 turbine housing over to the new truck also.
I plan on doing the following mods at minimum to the new truck:
- EBPV delete
- Down Pipe
- Cat/Muffler Delete
- Air Filter
- Chip
- Gauges
If I stay stock or maybe even stage 1's I might move the 1.0 turbine housing over to the new truck also.

With the list above. I would add stage 1s and custom tunes.
I dont believe an upgraded HPOP is necessary for 1s, but possibly.
A T500 is overkill for just stage 1s...but you might want to find a 17* super duty HPOP just to keep the stage 1s happy.
I would talk to Jim Rosewood when you do your injectors to see what HPOP he recommends.
Edit: Whats the reason for the new truck? Getting a CC?!?!?!?

So basically Stage 1's you might want an HPOP but for stage 2's you definately want an HPOP and thats about the only difference? I thought you needed electric fuel for the 2's.

I throw a code on my Stage 1's. They are starving for oil at WOT.Jim said that they can be run with stock HPOP, but to keep from throwing a code under hard pulls the upgraded HPOP will be necessary. I notice that my power dies out on top end too, I wonder if I had more oil going to them, if it would continue to pull harder past 85 or 90. I don't really understand the mechanics of it. Could just be a combination of big tires and 4:10s, but i feel like there is plenty of RPM's left to get more out of it.

Its amazing how much you forget when you don't actively use what you have learned.
I am thinking stage 1's is what I will go with. I don't want to have to worry about a turbo repair down the road.
Thanks for all the replies.

My dilemma now is - if I get a bullet proof trans - Then the only thing keeping me from 400+ is a turbo, bottom end, stage II's and re-burn. Thinking I should of just went II's to begin with and tuned them down for when future MODs roll in. However - knowing me I would have made 1 of the 6 tune's take advantage of stage II's and fried my Turbo a long time ago!
Speed wise these trucks are big turds without upgraded injectors, so you will be happy with the new found life. Good luck with the decision!

If you do 1.5's just have an emergency fund to replace it - but like my earlier post you will wish you had II's if you have to upgrade a turbo, and a tran's.
