Default Injectors... How much hp

well as of now ive almost got every thing i wanted on my truck befor i got injectors...in the sig... except the boost elbow.. oh well. I am getting closer to geting a set of injectors and i needed to know yalls opinon on what size injectors i need to stay safe with my stock turbo... i do hot rod it a little every now and then and maybe 1 or 2 times a years i will pull heavy louded trailers like a 42ft tandum daul loauded down with hay.... and a bumper pull every once ina while... i got a 3 or 3 ina half in pipe but im panning on upgrading to a 4 or 5in turbo back
Oh Aslo what is the Safe range on egts???? Im running 600 Degrees now

You would be fine with 100's or 150's until you start to tow a heavy load. Id do some 40-50hp's. Now if you upgrade your Turbo then thats a different story.

Those Fireball's are a very clean injector. Ive had customers compare them to Mach's.

100's should be just fine. My friend runs Jammer 3's in his 01 auto with an edge comp, and an hy35 and has no problems with it. He used to tow a 46' enclosed 5th wheel hauling cars around the western states with it, and never had any problems. With the manual, if you drive sanely when towing you will be just fine.
