Default Injector advice needed

I have an 01 3500 with a 150gH fass pump and a quadzilla, next thing I would like to get is injectors, I don't really know just a whole lot about them, Its my daily driver, I pull big loads from time to time but id like to hot rod it too, id like to get the biggest I can get without hurting the longevity of my engine (already have 320,000 on it) so what would be the best set up for me. Also if I get hopped up injectors would I have to get head studs?

with injectors comes supporting mods...

are you prepared to upgrade other things as well?

if you do all supporting mods necessary for the power you go with, then running large injectors won't hurt anything on your motor..

I'm running 6x.013's in mine and I daily drive it.

but I have the supporting mods for it as well which include:

compound twin turbo's
115# valve springs
HD push rods
double disc clutch
hd clutch hydraulics
150gph fuel system
gauges for both stages of the turbos
upgraded intercooler boots/clamps, etc...

all depends on how much power you want and twins or large single...

I'm not looking for giant power gains because I am on a limited budget, im just looking to put a little more "get up and go" into it

~150hp

7x.010 SAC would be the proper way of sizing it... you can't go by hp ratings because hp ratings are all BS.

7 hole .010 hole size. cylindrical blind or micro blind sac

151* spray angle and 300-310bar pop pressures would make them nice and super clean for that HO truck

studs are never a bad idea. more of a preventive measure to keep a head gasket from blowing or a head from warping.

being a HO truck, as long as you aren't running around with wiretap fueling cranked up, you can get away with 7x.010's with the stock turbo and a boost elbow on the turbo set to 35psi.

a mild turbo upgrade in the future wouldn't be a bad idea either if you plan on towing.



in other words keep your adrenaline set to lvl2 or lower and you will be fine....trust me those injectors will provide more than enough power that you won't even need to think about going to lvl3 or higher it will already put you firmly back in your seat with just the injectors. they make a huge improvement in performance...far more than the adrenaline did especially on a HO truck that has smaller injectors than SO trucks do stock...

If I did that would I be better off just selling my quadzilla, I want my truck to be badass but on the flip side I can't do anything that can blow it up cause if I blow it up I'm screwed!
