"I tow fairly heavy but nothing extreme. I do plan on upgrading the turbo in the future but I don't think I'll go T4 or anything. So maybe a 38R at most, I dunno?"
And WTF does this mean? We were just trying to help you bud. "Fairly heavy" can mean a TON of different things. Anyways, good luck.

My apologies. Sure seemed like that was a dig at me because "buying bigger than I currently need and tuning them back" is exactly what I did. Simply so I don't have to ever upgrade them in the future. The last guy that got my thread locked out was from Cali I we had some words so I'm a little on edge. Sorry I took it too far.
Heavy for me would be a skid steer. Most of my loads are just mustangs and trucks I pick up on 18' dovetail. These injectors are so badass that I won't even have to put the chip on even with towing, I bet. Now I need to go tow something and find out.

Just wondering how the black smoke level is with your new injectors? One of my concerns with going to larger injectors on my truck is having to be real careful with smoke under load. I personally don’t like smoke and we have to pass an annual visible smoke test here where tney run your truck up on a dyno to load it.

Snap tests are easy to pass, my pal in AZ has to deal with them too. Hell, I bet your truck is more maintained than most that roll through

They don't smoke at at all under half throttle empty with chip off. It will roll coal from a start obviously and if you stab it off boost but I'm really impressed with how it doesn't smoke that bad if you don't want it to. If you want it to, it will flog out the road, it's crazy. Especially on hot street and race tune. I towed yesterday and tried stock and it was ok, still far better than it was before but on mild tow it was much happier and the shifting is much better. It would only really smoke when I wanted it too, by stabbing it. Main reason I went with 80's is cause of my speed demon. 30's would be more than plenty as others said above and less smoke.
They just passed a smoke law here. Now they have a hotline you can call and report the description of the vehicle and whether it's gas or diesel. Then you get a warning, then $25, then $100 fine apparently plus some cities and enforce their own fines on top of that from what I read.

California doesn't even have this yet. Colofornia trying hard to keep up I guess. It'll be everywhere soon enough.
