Default building injectors

What parts do I need to replace on my stock injectors to make 150 hp sticks? and does anyone know where to get these parts?

I am still getting some excessive black smoke and lousy mileage and think that maybe my cheap injectors are maybe firing at too low of pressure, therefore not giving me what I want. On the plus side, they didn't want a core for that $200 set of injectors, so I still have my stocks with fouled nozzles.

I want to build my stocks, as big as I can and put them back in. I would appreciaate any help with this one.

Do you have a good shop that can pop test them for you?

I believe I do. I think I may have more than one in fact.

You can put a good set of nozzles in them and then have them pop tested or sent them in and have them built.

what kind of cost am I looking at to send them in and have them built? Where can I get my hands on a set of nozzles?

I bought my nozzle from Luke, and took them to my local diesel shop. They charged me $20, or $22 per injector to replace the nozzle, pop test, and supply new sealing hardware.
