Default INJECTOR HELP!! NEED NEW ONES

Ive been wanting new injectors for a while now. I have decided to start doing some chekin around to see what brand and size I would need. I use my truck alot to pull my 26' steel horse trailer in the mountains and on flat land. My truck isnt heavily modified. It has a 100 plate with afc slid forward and starwheel all the way, straight piped and a amzoil air filter. I want some better performance for towing and playing around a lil. Which injectors would yall suggest would do me the best?

with stock charger i would say a 5x.012 max will be a little smokie but with the afc modified it will clean up nicely
if you want to go higher like a set of 5x.014s i would recommend at least a 64/71/14
if no charger added they will be way to hot for your liking

do you have the 215 pump or the 180?

if you have the 215 I would stick with the stock injectors

for towing I would keep the stockers and upgrade the trubo.

try a set of gov springs first before you go buying injectors, they make a world of difference

i agree with 12valve on the springs-they make a huge dif.

no they arent too bad-if you can do a plate you can do the springs, they are around 100bux and should come with directions, if not they are on here somewhere, just make sure you take your time-dont try and rush thru it

do u have any gauges yet?
