nope just take loose the injector lines and the 2 mounts so you can pull them back from the head then the valve cover leave the rubber gasket on and to get the cover off you have to slid to the passenger side then fowerd you will have to wrestle with it a little then take the injector cover off each one of them theres 2 bolts holding the little cover on and you only wanna take out the outter bolts. You have to take the intack horn off to but you take the short intake horn bolt and you will screw it into the top of the injector then you will need to take a pair of those needle nose plires that have the curve in then and you will pry the injector out then just push the new one in and take the steps back wards. if you go on youtube i will find the link but theres a video that tells ya how toand shows ya this is just the basics and if you ever need help ill give ya my number if ya want im home all the time. but try the other stuff first

The injectors might be popping at different psi that might be why or you could get some low hp injectors like RV275 (40hp) or Jammer Stg 1 (50hp) injectors. Ive got some of the Jammers stg 1s in my truck with no computer and ill get at least 20hwy. Just a thought. The injectors would pay for them selfs over a couple of months. Im giving away some sets of injectors in Jan. look around in the give aways in the next couple weeks.

On the injectors all the way to 150hp in jammer Injectors. But anything past 150hp their custom. I can go all the way to 350hp (added) injectors.

what would you recommend for a twin setup. i dont tow, haul or pull. just a street ride. eventually trying to get to around 600hp or as close as i can get.
