Default Too much fuel????

I'm lookin into putting a airdog 150 setup, a industrial injection vp44, and a set of injectors on my 2001 cummins. im lookin into the 90 hp-200hp range on the injectors. How big can i go on the injectors before i need to change my turbo?

I would say if you tow a lot or heavy don't go over the 90hp. But on the other hand if you don't tow at all and don't mind some hot egt's go for the 200hp sticks. You can always drive a truck with bigger sticks as a daily driver but you won't be able to use those sticks to their full potential until you get a larger turbo. Do you have a pyro?

So very true...

Before you do anything make sure you have gauge installed... (Boost, Pyro, Fuel pressure at least!)

Power will go up for sure. (Lots of black smoke) But you MPG's will fall some for sure.

Typically the RV275 and 75 HP injectors are good for MPG's...
