stage 1 upgrade ?
Here are the goods, I have a 94.5 crew cab 4x4 powerstroke and through a lot of trials and tribulations I have finally discovered I have lazy injectors. Now to the question, If I do the stage one upgrade I have two options: Just buy the kit and put the injectors back stock or have the machine shop do their little deal and get some horsepower to boot. Now my concerns: I'm fixing this truck to sale so stock will work, but a little boost might help the sale, if I go stage 1 do I need pyro egt gauges and all that and do I need a clutch upgrade, beyond that how much will the machine shop charge for their part?
If I can pull it off without additional upgrades I might consider because I'm already down to it but at this point I don't want to tie up a lot of cash in a truck that is about to be put on the market. I'll save that for the stage 1 on my 97 stroker! Thanks for the input. BH

stage ones will run like a stock injector without programming. with stage ones and no programming you will not need a pyro, clutch upgrade, or any of that stuff. for a truck getting ready to get sold i would just replace them with stock injectors and modify the '97 instead. LoL.
Oh yeah and why do you say you have "lazy" injectors?

A programmer alone will give you great power. Stage I's without a programmer will not give you much but with one it will surprise you.
