Do you have an aftermarket lift pump or gauges?? If not you need both of those ASAP. What kind of tranny do you have?

Would it be smarter to do the lift pump before injectors? I was looking at 75 horse injectors and im not sure which order to do it in.

Double down on the Lift pump... What are you getting for Fuel Pressure? If its less then ten your fudged sooner or later and injection pumps are not cheap. I bet your around ten and a whole lot less than that when you put her to the floor on stock LP. Besides how are you gonna feed those new injectors if you dont have good flow of fuel bud... Take our advice do the LP....I think i beat that horse.

Ok its settled ... now what would be a good brand to go with? I am on a somewhat tight budget, probably around $400, but i want something that will last. Ideas?
