Default Opinions on injector brands and sizes?

Like most,I don't have the funds to test and try different brands of injectors but am wondering if anyone has had the chance to compare injectors firsthand and am wondering what impressions were.I have heard Jammers are smoky and I know about nozzles and matching and pop testing.Dynomite have name recognition for me but I know there are other brands.I am thinking about 150 hp tops for now.any feedback will be appreciated.

There are very few companys out there that cut there own injectors. Most have them cut the injectors to there specs. I have ran Jammers and some HP nozzles. Both are smokey and can get hot pretty fast. I have had good luck with our Fireball Pro line. For the price its really hard to beat Fireballs and New Era. If I can help with your purchase or decision please let me know.

I was very pleased with our previous transactions and need to check into your suggestions.Do you prefer one over the other and recommend max HP?I was looking at 150 hoping to not lose any more fuel mileage. Please send a price if you get a chance.

I am running some of our big FireBallPros right now. But it was a great driver all the way down to 100Hp and spooled the twins just fine.

Of course, the bigger sticks do it better. On the '99 we are running the FireBallPro 150's with a HTT64-71-13 over a K31. Spools lightning fast and smoke levels are very low.

once you start to go over the 150 level, you will start to loose mileage...with that said, my 150's got me about 1 mpg better, as long as i could keep my foot from hitting the floor...ive got 240's waiting to go in so i will report back, but im expecting to loose some mileage

once you start throwing all that fuel to your engine, you are probably going to want to upgrade your stock turbo, your EGT's will get pretty how without a proper turbo on that baby with all that fuel going through..

150's, stock turbo w/ the edge on kill and id hit 1600*+ at the end of the quarter...anything over 150 and you will need to get a turbo...it would be safe to get a new charger with anything over 100 really...

Not to change direction but I was considering poor man twins by adding an s400 to my hx35.I figured on saving some more by fabing and welding my own connecting pipe and flanges as well.

I'm running mach 2.5's in one truck and edge stage 4's in the other. One is 115 and the other 125. I don't see much difference in them. I just put a set of 200 horse tips in a set of bodies to replace the 125's. I'm going to run it with the adrenaline off and switch to see how much boost I gain and speed on a measured distance.
