As you can probably guess by the title I am looking at getting injectors as my next mod. Soooooooooo with that said I would like to know opinions and options for what I am wanting. My current build here is what I have performance wise.
Motor:
Stock HX35 Turbo
Stock intercooler
Reman VP44 Pump
S&B Cold air intake with paper filter
4" Turbo Back exhaust Straight pipe
Edge Juice with Attitude
Raptor 100 Lift Pump set to 19PSI
I believe that is all that is done motor wise.
Now here is what I use the truck for. I have a mud truck that many of you have probably seen. So I tow that truck at least once a month with a total weight of truck and trailer somewhere in the neighborhood of 8100#
I also have friends that demolition derby and for 3 months out of the year I am hauling cars every weekend. So I want some injectors that are going to be able to give me that extra umph off the line while I tow.
So this is my goal. I want to have that extra punch off the line empty or loaded. I would like to maybe pick up some MPG from my current 18.4 I also would like the wow factor of a little more smoke than just the puff I get now. I want a good balance of performance and smoke. Now I know smoke is a touchy subject. But I would like the wow factor if I want it. I am more interested int he mpg and performance. This is one reason why I am not just picking the biggest injector and having it put in to black out the sky. That is not my intent here. Now if that is a side affect of more power then I'm ok with it haha. But mainly since I do lots of towing I am more looking at injectors as a performance increase that will be helpful in multiple areas.
now for the research that I have done so far. I have found that 50hp stick can smoke less than stock. Not really what I want but I won't turn them down just on the smoke factor alone. I am actually leaning to 100hp sticks. I have read where people will go and throw 120 sticks and 200 sticks in a stock engine and blow it sky high or melt it down. So I am a bit cautious about going that big. But having also read many success stories I'm willing to consider the big sticks. I want to find the best bang for my buck and make my truck make good power and make it last a long time.
All thoughts and opinions are greatly appreciated! I am still learning the principals behind the diesel power world. I hope I can find a mod that will give me all 3 of the things I want. That is why I decided to go sticks before turbo. I do know that means some higher EGT's but my question is how much higher? I cruise right now in the 95*heat at about 690 at 60mph. Drops to around 590-620 on the highway at 70mph.
