Default Injector nozzles

Would replacing my nozzles be worth the time and money? Would i see much hp gain? And can i get a price on some injector nozzles. 50-150 hp range. Thanks

U can replace the nozzles but they will have to be sent to an injector shop and pop tested.

I swapped mine with no pop test, just slapped em on and kept on going . I used 100 hp edge jammer nozzles . I could see a big enough difference . So could my clutch . It started slipping instantly . I replaced the clutch with a southbend ceramic, witch has a break in period of 300 - 500 miles of city driving city miles before it will hold . I drive country miles and they said it may take as many as 1000 miles before it will hold under wot . They said with great confidence IT WILL HOLD, just drive easy till its broken in . Paitence is a virtue damnet, I wanna stomp it . I have not been able to feel the full power of my new nozzles .
