Default Next Power Bump

Hey, Guys! I'm pondering another power increase by the way of injectors. How much larger could I possibly go from my SDX100s? No turbo change in mind. It is wastegated at 40psi, by the way. Thanks!

I would bump them up to 7x0.010 or 7x0.0105's. Roughly a 150-175 hp injector.

Thank you, Ghostman. I forgot to mention this truck i bought new in 2002. I treat it as if it is new, even though the odometer shows 280k. I tow occasionally 5K and once a year tow 11k worth of trailer and Jeeps to southwest Colorado. Any concerns with a responsible driver with that upgrade hauling up Raton and La Veta Pass, Colorado?

If you are running stock charger I wouldn't go any bigger since you are hauling in the mountains.

Thanks again. My turbo is a 62/65/12. Also, 6 speed manual transmission, if need to know.

Yeah I was on my phone so I couldn't see your sig. Yeah Id leave it alone you have a pretty good setup. I think moving up from there you would be getting into good money.

But I still want just a little more when empty! Haha! And I don't want to have a truck that's useless for towing either. Compounds aren't really in the plans, which is where I know this comment will lead. Thanks for your time, Ghostman!

I'll go back to my original statement why not get some 150's 7x0.010's?

I just might do that. I'm not towing 90% of the time, as it is. Where I live the elevation is pretty flat, really. So towing around here is easy on my current set up.
