i've thought about doin an intercooler but i have had to do so much to work out turbo lag as it is without an intercooler and in the mind of a mechanic as myself and knowing how things work it would be a logical quess to assume that if your going to lengthin the amount of time it takes for air to reach the engine by routing it through an intercooler then it would make sense to believe your going to create lag...... right or wrong? i checked out that beans performance site and man there injectors are cheap! thinkin about buyin a set. one question though, if i put in injectors why would i need to plug in a custom chip instead of running with the superchip i have now? advance fuel curves to make up for new injectors i assume. let me know

Your absolutely right about the inter cooler. Really the only time it will be a benefit is when ya have to have lower egt's. Your chip will work with new injectors. And it will most likely work pretty good. But to get the most out of them your truck will need the custom chip. Bean does sell chip/injector packages that gives ya a chip tuned for the new injectors. Talk to them at beans and they will help ya out.
