What size injectors are you planning on getting. I know Jonathan at Swamps says his "Baby Swamps" will run just like stock injectors unless you have a chip to turn them on. I'm not sure if Beans stage 1's are the same. If you go with larger injectors you may need more goodies to make it really put out. I know when I bought my Baby Swamps I got a chip from Swamps at the same time. And installed them at the same time. The truck runs much better than it did with the Banks Power Pack alone (which was an improvement over stock in itself).
I'm not sure of what all mods you have but I've heard several people say that after injectors and a chip their tranny (ATM) or clutch was one of their next mods.

Beans stage ones are the same cc of fuel as swamps babies

I think both of them offer a package deal where you can get a chip and injectors for a pretty decent price.

It says at Beans website that his stage 1's use factory stock nozzles also. So it's quite likely you'll need a chip to really turn them on. If that's the size injector you're looking at.

a chip will not make much more than 75hp over stock with factory injectors. Get both and let the black smoke roll!
