Default Stock or Aftermarket injectors

Everything that is done to the truck is stated my signature. I need to replace the injectors but I need some advice. Should I just replace them with stock ones or get aftermarket injectors? Also, should I get bigger ones or not? I am getting enough fuel even for the tunes I am running with the programmer so I was steering away from getting bigger ones. How much over stock can you go without having to replace the fuel pump and other stuff from stock?

155 would work but I'd look at using an AirDog 100 or AirDog 150 with a tank sump. Otherwise stay with stock size cause it's working fine right now correct??

Oh ok. Yes, everything is working good. Just thought while I was replacing them maybe i should upgrade. Just don't have enough money right now for the airdog. So no matter how much the upgrade with injectors you still need the airdog?

You need to be smart keeping the right pedal in check. Don't waste that good modded injector on a poor fuel supply system. I'd think REAL hard about the future turbo you would want to select. If you stay under a 65mm VGT 175's might work for now. Other wise 155's would be a great foundation for a bigger turbo. Consider adding a ported manifold as well in the future. Air is KEY to power as well as fuel.

You can see one thing leads to another. It's not about just add this, just add that. The whole motor needs to be looked at for a great running worry free setup. Sure you can keep it simple, just built it smartly so that as you add on things the power grows.
