I think your jammers are really hurting you. Well I don't think you have enough fuel for the 64 either. I would say some 200's would really help

If your wanting mileage get some 50-60hp injectors w/ a smarty or whatever then you would even get better mileage if you even added full exhaust kit. I have that current set up on one of my trucks and I get 20 city and 25 highway but only if I baby it...

if you don't have enough fuel you will run hotter than you need to be. a 64 is a good size turbo. I ran ddp110's with my 62 and could tow anything with no issues. I would say a good 150hp injector. Mach's or DDP seem to come to mind from people I hear really like how they run. From my experience jammers ran hotter and smokier than the ddps of same size, and they made less power.

would it be cause they are eight hole instead of seven? would 150 ddp be ok with my 64 to pull with im sure it would only help with more fuel it would cut out some of the turbo lag
