There are times when I am at a loss why people want to "avoid" the 370's.They are the most underrated injector for the 12v motors out there.people complain of the haze but I can assure you I have that haze with all the sets of 12v modified injectors I own.Some haze worse than others but one thing is for sure they all haze.While building my 12v the last few years I ran my standard 370's first until I got my first set of customs.Those injectors made 470hp with a small Garrett GT37R Stage 3 charger.If you look at what I have cost wise for injectors now none have given me the per dollar spent HP gain the 370's did.

Its your dollar and your truck,I was mearely trying to save you some cash........Andy

see what ive been told is that the spray pattern is wrong, that they make ur egts sky rocket etc etc.. im not saying ur wrong im just saying theres been so many negatives ive been told, it kind of makes me want to avoid them.. haze i dont really care for but it seems like u said no matter what ones u get its gonna happen.. basically long as they dont do it once the trucks warmed up im ok

I am by far no expert but from what I understand is the marine applications have 155 spray pattern and the trucks have a 145 spray pattern. According to most people I have talked to this is why they haze sometimes at idle and smoke a lot. Yes any performance injector is going to smoke more than stock but some are much more controllable than others.

I have a set of 370's, they do haze but it's not all that bad. They do smoke pretty good when you hog into it but the smoke is very easily controlled. EGT's aren't to bad either really (I don't think), i could hit 1600* pretty easily, but just normal driving they keep pretty cool 700*ish.

I personally love my 370's
