I am having injector issues and figured it would be a good time to upgrade... I am pretty much thinking I am going to get Full Force injectors and a Hydra Chip from PHP. What I need help with is how to get the most bang for the buck and be happy with the setup.
The current mods are: BTS Valve Body, 6.0 tranny cooler, Driven Diesel Post-Pump Fuel Filter, Driven Diesel Fuel Bowl Delete Regulated Return, HPX Crossover Line, AFE Stage II Intake, Magnaflow Turbo Back 4" SS Exhaust, Hutch/Harpoon Mod, and a Driven Diesel Pre-Pump Fuel Filter.
Anyway, I would like to upgrade the injectors, which means I need to upgrade the chip and turbo. I am not wanting to go WILD... I want more power than stock, but am mainly wanting reliability. Maybe go as high as 350 hp (or a little more), but not in daily driver mode. I am unsure as to the size injector I should go with, but I am thinking about a tuned down FF single shot 238/100%? Then again, I would like to keep costs down as well... So maybe Stage II 160’s? What I do not want to do is go so big that drivability and reliability become an issue. The cost issue mainly comes in when I considered that if I went with monster injectors, I would have to spend another two or three grand on other supporting mods (turbo, HPOP, etc...).
This brings me to the turbo... I do not want to spend a few thousand on a new turbo/mounting system. Since I saw the threads on the Gen II Wicked Wheel, I thought this would be a good compromise: Get the WW II and rebuild the turbo while I am at it. But what about the housings? Pedestal? Keep the EPV or veer towards a WW II/Van combo?
Anyway, advice would be appreciated. Thanks...
