Default injector swap help

I have a 1996 12v currently with 370 marines injectors.I have been researching and see the bad side effects marines can cause i am wanting to buy 80hp dragon flow injectors. Can anyone help me with how good the quality and benefits i would get with the dragons, instead of the marine 370s.

370's are fine , just need to make sure the injector depth is set correctly other wise tey will be smokey as all get out and Hot as well, they need to be set deeper to belnd in the bowl correctly , dont just slap them in .. bad idea

performance wise you will see no difference between the 2 unless your current set is worn. the correct spray pattern injector will however burn much cleaner. pulling trailers, taking off at stop signs ect will be much cleaner.

Sam e truck thats making oil in the coolant ?? if so you could have a HG issue and its drinking coolant in to 1 or more cylinders causing low power ( and or compression loss)
