reliability first, more power and fuel efficientcy. I pull a 30' camper in the summer. I am thinking injectors last have everything in place for stage 2s.

Why Stage 2s? Stage 1s will get you more than enough power and Stage 2s will cause you to monitor EGTs more than anything. Bigger isn't always better, especially for towing.

What intake does the truck have on it?

Also, I think Wesley has you pointed in the right direction with the H/H mod which is fairly cheap and easy to accomplish with a big return for your work.

As I put in your other thread:

Mike, welcome to FTE. First, in the future I recommend you post in the 99-03 7.3L forum, we know our trucks very well! Regarding yours, have you done the Hutch and Harpoon mods yet? And added a RACOR fuel filter?

I bought Clay’s setup and honestly I wish I hadn’t. I bought fuel line and fuel injection clamps off Amazon. You’ll need 2 compression fittings and some brake line, pvc cutter and tube bender. The RACOR filter can be purchased from the Racor store buy the 1/2” one.

​​​​​​​NOTE: When you drop the tank BEFORE you open it… mark the collar, sending unit and tank! This will ensure you put everything back on identical and you put it back on as tight as you took it off.

Concur - If I had taken it apart first and looked at it, I could have sourced everything locally and much of it I had "in stock" anyways. In retrospect, I'd have just read the threads here and tear into it.

I marked the position of the sending unit for proper orientation, but didn't mark the screw-on collar and that left me wondering how tight to make it upon reassembly. I don't like crossing my fingers after I do a mod or repair, marking the collar is sound advice that will help keep you from losing sleep over it.

Airdog is way overpriced compared to doing H&H + Racor120 + FRx
Plus it won't solve fuel starvation on #8 cylinder like the FRx solves

I bought and installed Sinister Diesels kit for the hutch mod. I also bought Riffraff's kit but didn't like it as much, and actually it is sitting on a shelf. For the harpoon part you will just need to buy some PVC cutters.

Could we get beyond this Stage 1 or Stage 2 injector speak?
