Default Injectors

I have been thinking about some injectors. Not sure what to get. Only mods thus far are smarty, AFE, and 4" exhaust, stock HX35. I do tow on occasion, so I don't want to be able to not tow because of the injectors. What can I run, that will had some good HP, and yet still be manageable while towing.

Any recomendations.

i had 150's and the smarty in mine, before i dropped a valve, never got the chance to pull a trailer before i swapped motors, but the highest i could get it was around 1350. good luck. if ur going for jusst a decnt pep, and not all out performance, try a set of rv275's there about a 40hp injector. good luck man

probably limited to about 50-75HP with the smarty and a stock clutch, You will want to look into upgrading your turbo some time down the road as its not designed for much more than 320HP or so.

I agree some rv 275's and the truck will run great and tow anything you want. I am not sure if the ddrp will handle it though. You will also want a comp box after the injectors.

Yeah, I ran the Rv injectors for a while, and they were a great mild towing injector with a stock turbo. I pulled 18.5K in pretty steep terrain with them without any issues. Just had to turn my box down. They were a good street injector, and a very fun set up. Smoke and EGT's weren't an issue.

We have had great luck with our 40-50hp injectors for this application.
