Default What size injectors?

Ok so I have a basically stock 02 just what my signature states. I plan on getting a bigger turbo later but what size injectors whould I be safe with now? Are 100's out of the question. My truck is a daily driver with the occasional tow. No racing and no sleds!

I would upgrade my lift pump before injectors.

Yep lift pump like Luke said and get look into air dog, fass, or a raptor pump and a s&b intake wouldnt be a good investment as well

I agree with both the guys above as well. When it does come to injectors, I'm really happy with my 65's. Nothing too crazy, not too smokey, but a good gain in power, mileage, and overall handling. I bet a guy would get a good deal on injectors and a lift pump If he ordered them together.

you can get away with 100's for now but have to drive by pyro when towing. I would get a quality set of sticks then you can get a turbo that will run them better, but get rid of the in tank pump and get a fass yesterday or your going to be spending lots of money on a preventable expense.

Are you thinking the Vulcan Draw Straw V?
DrawStraw™ V HiFlow
I have installed it and I love it. With both the FASS fuel return, and engine fuel return going back into the fuel basket, There is always fuel available to pump. I never have 1/4 tank issues, not even 1/16 tank issues.

Yeah I think that straw is where its at with the return lines. I know as far as the big fuel systems ive ran in my strip cars a return line is a requirement for big power. Keeps your pump feed and whenever there is a surge theres a backdoor right to your tank.

with a in-tank pump you have to do a draw straw.
