doubt it... what have you done to your injection pump? and what year is your truck? i wouldnt change injectors if your truck is non-intercooled.

No you will be fine. MIght need some air and a timing bump to really use those POD's. In all reallity with your non-I/Ced injestors I woudl not waste your money on POD's.

i would deff get guages before you do any of that you need to be able to monitor everything and a fuel pin from mnh is 105 and a 3200rpm gov spring 25 bucks you will gain the most power with those to things you can make plenty of power without injectors all of the parts i have in my truck i hadnt put in a gov spring in till about a month ago and i didnt realize how much it actualy helped me on power levels and fuel economy you can buy injectors butt i would get guages a gov spring and a fuel pin and go from there you will be supprised on the power you will gain from spendin just 130 bucks and if you do wind up getting injectors i agree with rswords spend a little extra money and get a good set of injectors but hey everone is different good luck man

ya man gauges first then the rest as far as PODS for what ya can get those for you can get a set of SDX injectors some of the best cummins injectors on the market they will smoke less and run cooler while giving you some great HP

Besides, a POD is not much larger then stock and has a worse spray pattern.
