Default Best way to spend a few hundred bucks????

My truck is pretty much stock, I use it for towing my 18 foot landscape trailer 98% of the time, weigh's 7-8k loaded up. I wanna boost the hp alittle to help it pull up the hills. I don't want to start changing injectors and all that stuff, I just want a quick boost in power and call it a day.

My truck has the small Hy35 turbo on it, I was considering either swapping the bigger Hx35 OR slap a small tuner on there, which one would be a better option?? will i see any real noticible gains from the bigger turbo for towing or would a small tuner be a better option????

A set of 100hp injectors is what I'd recommend. They don't get hot and will give a steady hp range at all rpm

How much power increases are we talking with just the injectors? Does 100hp mean 100 more hp over stock?

In my 99 dodge, I put 150's in and laid down 320hp. So all together rwhp out of 150's was about 105. A set of 100hp injectors your lookin at probably 50-75 rwhp

With the proper amount of air, yes. They will also increase mileage, and increase driveability. I noticed a big difference with the 65HP injectors I had before.

If you can go over a few hundred, try and find a used Edge Juice with Attitude. It will increase power, mileage, give you gauges, and give you many other features.

Hmmm this is something to think about.

Maybe i could swap in some 100 hp injectors, then down the road ditch the hy35 and upgrade to the hx35.
