DIY-injectors Article

I've seen a lot of questions about these so I thought I'd post this up. Hope the mods don't delete it, it's a good article.

Could you tell a noticeable difference when you did your injectors?

Seat of the pants difference wasn't what I had expected, but then again it is a 7300 lb truck. The difference I really noticed was the change in acceleration. On my first run, the area where I finally looked at the speedo, I would usually be around 80-85 mph with the stockers. With these I had the speedo pegged at the same spot. It accelerates FAST now! Can't wait to gt the camper out and tow with them and see what it does.

I wonder if you didn't see the gains you expected because you didn't get a chip. In the article he already had a chip calibrated for the injectors B-4 he started.(at least thats the way I read it) OOPs, I see you have a chip (not one I'm familiar with) do you need to have it recalibrated maybe?

No, I installed the Wildman (Tony Wildman)chip, calibrated for 160 cc injectors before I rebuilt the injectors. I was thinking it would feel more like a car with nitrous, like it wouldthrow me back in the seat really hard. I think since the truck is so heavy, I don' feel that as much as I would say in a 3000 lb car. You read the article correctly, that's how I intended it to read.
