as far as ebay injectors, that all depends on the person/company selling them. the link above that you posted seems to be a pretty reputable company with a 100% feedbad and high ranking. i say go for it

Is this your first build? And why go whole hog on pump and injectors first? Many other mods needed to make that extra fuel work.

i would add a BHAF to your list, very cheap mod and way better airflow than the stock box.

just visit your local parts store and get one of these

http://articles.mopar1973man.com/ind...=24&Itemid=107

not sure on the duralite part number, although thats the one on my truck

here is other #'s for it. very cheap mod and helpful! 3-4x more airflow than the crappy stock box, and easy to make, also you should fab up a heat shield for it if you can


Fleetguard AH19037
NAPA 2790
WIX 42790
Donaldson B105006
CAT 3I0005

also if your going to be stacking a timing box in the future, maybe a turbo upgrade would be in order. especially with large injectors
