stage one injectors

well i just got my stage one injestors put in and im looking too get some more perfomance out of my truck. i mean dont get me wrong it runs alot better than it did before i would just like too get some more fuel milage and more power out of it. its a 1997 ford powerstroke with 358000 miles on it.

also im working with a limited budfet so what i can get out of it for the keast money would be best

we need to know what else youv'e got. Assuming you did all the supporting mods first, id say its time for Efuel and then a turbo.

Also assuming your transmission has been taken care of or its a manual

it is a manual and ive just got the injectors and thats it i dont have anything else done too it

youll have a better chance posting this in the proper area.

Since your on a budget dual sd fuel pumps u can get them at a junkyard. Baldwin filter bases and filters irates reg return and a d66. That's probly your cheapest right there and if your mechanic smart. You can make your own regulated return but buying one is a better idea

If you wanted more power, i would have purchased bigger injectors. you could aslo look at getting an aftermarket HPOP, like SRP1, T1000, Duals, etc.

what do you have for tuning????

A 17* HPOP would be your next best mod..I'm assuming you have custom tunes ..if not a TS chip is in order..with custom tunes. Stock fuel and turbo will be fine.

You do have a intake and exhaust with guages???

Stage 1 injectors with stock tuning run exactly like stock.

I read this all the time..but at least trucks I have done sure react differently..why?

Cary,

OBS 200K miles(old and tired) install new injectors(refresh) new parts always run better....

Like puttin in a new hip the old one was working ok but that new one works so much better...LOL

I have to agree with Cary. When I installed Stage one's (brand new AC's) there was a big difference in performance all else being equal, no programming. ALF4 code PCM.

However Matt has a point that just putting in fresh stock injectors may have been noticable. Mine had about 160k. But it was a big difference!

I would tend to say my experience was closest to Matt's observation.

Some people's stage 1s are actually something closer to a stage 1.5 with a slightly larger nozzle. What I am calling a stage 1 has a stock nozzle.

So am I, a stage one in my book always has a stock nozzle..and 160cc
Now we can get stage 1's stock nozzle and 189cc's but I'm not talking about them.
