Default Upgrade Advice

I believe the problem with the excess black smoke problem I have been having is a failing injector. Losing mpg's, stuttering when idle and take offs, also pushing black smoke out of exhaust gets worse by the day. So I plan on getting the injection pump checked and see what kinda pressure I'm getting and if that's not it probably going to go ahead and replace all injectors. Need help on some good ones to look at. It's a daily driver and probably never going to reach more than 650 on total hp. 700 if I get rich one day I know you get what you pay for but not trying to break my wallet at the same time. What are some other parts that I'll need to keep up with the injectors? I know it's a lot of questions but help if you wouldn't mind. Highly appreciated.

I just swapped in a set of NEW OEM bosh from exergy and I'm happy so far. Truck is a much smoother and quite. Customer service was great too. If you don't plan to go over 600hp stock injectors will give you enough fuel and save you at least 1k over even 50hp ones.

If you are happy at under 600 HP, then go with new bodies and stock nozzles. If you want a little more bang for the buck, the BMS 50-60 HP injectors are a good buy. They can be had for about stock price or even less.

If you want the highest quality and huge potential then the BBI Stage I's are a good choice. You will likely need programming to tune them correctly so that is an added cost.

For any choice, better filtration, both water and solids, is highly recommended. Cheapest route would be a 3 UM filter between the CP-3 and OE filter housing, the most comprehensive is new LP plus the 3 um filter.
