FYI, I have a buddy running DDP4's with the stock HX. Its toasty but manageable (he claims). When he drops the hammer -

I have them in my 97 and they get hot! 1600 is no problem unloaded, pulling a trailer up the mountain can get pretty interesting.

I agree. When I had the 370s in my '98, they smoked like a freight train and got super hot. Pulling my little trailer (3k lbs. of trailer and cargo), the temps would stay at 1400* in 3rd. That was keeping my foot on it just to stay at 40. Plus they're the wrong spray pattern, unless you're running marine pistons. I believe their spray pattern is 155*, when it should be 145* or so. Basically, they are spraying outside the bowl. Save up and buy some DDP4's. That's my $.02 anyway.

I ended up getting some 90 horse injectors with the correct spray pattern.
