Thanks again for your input! Calculator shows 18.5mpg for me. 23 is awesome for a truck like ours! Are larger injectors useless with only slightly modified fueling and stock turbo?

No as long as you keep an eye on your pyro.

a programmer like the comp box and a set of 40-50hp injectors will make the truck rock and still be a nice daily driver. Get the comp first then add injectors when your ready. I liked my truck with a hx35 and some marine injectors. mileage was good too.

Thanks again guys. I'll try to find out if Hypertech and Edge are compatible.

You don't wanna stack the edge with the hypertech.. I believe the hypertech advances the timing, the edge does both fuel and timing together, adding timing and timing together isn't a good thing... If you can find a fuel only chip it would work great.. Like me I run an edge ez (timing), and the older quadzilla xzillaraider which adds fuel only.

Okay. Makes sense. Can you tell me if the older Xzillaraider or similar is still available? The Hypertech is important to me because of speedo calibrations and diagnostics. And I already have it.

Talking with an Edge rep., I found that's right. Hypertech and Edge box aren't compatible. Both control timing. What do yall know about stacking Hypertech and TST, which I believe controls fueling? Then again, what else can anybody say about Hypertech (for speedo calibrations, timing,and diagnostics)and maybe 75hp injectors?
