Default Pensacola injectors?

I found a set of 370 injectors on E-bay from Pensacola Diesel for $200. I need help on rather if there good or not,or if there are some better for around the same price. I need some pretty quick cause mine are about shot and not wanting to spend to much.Thanks

i've heard some mixed reviews on their dodge injectors. i didn't know they sold 370's as when i was in their office getting my powerstroke injectors i inquired about some 435's and they told me they sold some stage 1 and stage 2, one being 60hp and 2 being like 90 hp over stock....... if they are 370's make sure they are the correct spray pattern. i have marines in my dodge and i wish i wouldn't have bought them. they are smokey, and hot. a good charger will clean up the smoke but getting it to spool will black out 4 lanes of traffic.... ask me how i know

Been there done that STAY AWAY! I ran there "hot" pump and stage 2 sticks and they didn't feel as powerful as my 215 pump and stock 215 injectors with a # 10. I have heard from a very reliable source that there stage 2s are marine 300s or 330s. I cant recall. They are the wrong spray pattern 155* not 145* smoke, heat and high cylinder pressure. If you want proof call them up and ask what size there injectors are ask if there 4 or 5 hole. The 300s and 330s are a 4 hole injector. 370s are 5X0.012! When I asked this question there head tech said he didn't know but knew they would make good power and smoke.

End of the day you get what you pay for. New eras are not much more and are the correct spray pattern. Also try making a post in the price quote section. A lot of our venders know people that make a good injector at a great price. I would ask for a 370 - 5X12 aka 90hp or a 435 - 5X14 aka 140hp injector.

I hope you guys all realize that most every 12v performance injector made is based off of or uses the Marine 370 bodies or nozzles.

yup...no doubt they are the best bang for the buck - but you have to have the right charger to go with them.

Thanks Andy.

Very true Andy!

370s are the best bang for the buck if you want to make power quick. Stage 2s from pensacola are 204.00. You can pick up a set of used 370s for 250.00 easy. 370s can make big power as well. In the short term 370 marines are a good injector easy cheap power. In the long term your better off going with an injector with the corrct spray pattern. You will make your money back with better milage in no time. Oh and less smoke and heat.

Anyway back to the point Pensacola Diesel doesnt have a 370. I think there saying 70-100 due to what your stock injector is. Honestly before I wuld buy there injectors i would get some used 215s
