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

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