Default Injectors or nozzles

So I'm looking at getting me some 150hp injectors and have a quick question.... If I just a nozzle am I gonna get the full 150hp with just a nozzle???? Just curious as it seems cheaper to just do the nozzles. And what seem to be the best out there??? Any help appreciated thanks!!!!!

In my oppinion injectors are cheap enough in these trucks to just buy the correct set of injectors. But if you buy nozzles you need to go pop test the injectors after you put new nozzles in. To see weather or no you need to have the injectors shimmed so they pop at the correct Pressure. Then with the old injectors your looking at some worn parts, such as a dull plunger. But mine with 236K plungers were within spec and could hardly see ware. Thats just my two cents, but maybe some one with a little more knowledge and expertise on injectors chimes in... But ill give some food for thought untill that happens
