Default 215 Injectors

What's the deal with putting 215 injectors into a 160 truck? How much power increase? Do they slip right in place of the stock 160 injectors? How much power increase? How are EGT's affected? Would I need to change delivery valves also?

I'm not trying to make gobs of power, but I'd like to wake this truck up. I figure a good set of 215 Injectors, #100 Plate, GSK, HX35/14cm2-WG, 4" DP & Straight Pipe ought to set me in the right direction without getting too serious. I have the 47RH, but I plan to build one to handle serious power before I do any of the above modifications.

yes they slip right in place of the 160 injectors, no you do not need to swap DV's.

The 215 injector is a 5x .010 as opposed to your 160 injectors 5x .009.

Its not a huge power difference but it is there. It was the difference between my stock clutch holding in 3rd gear and slipping with no plate and the wastegate closed.
