Default 02 cummins on a budget

02 cummins with 4" turbo back, 80hp superchip, external lift pump and k&n intake. I would like to put some injectors in that will be safe. Also any other idea to help out the hp that wont be to expensive. Also would a Fass system be worth the money after injectors?
Open to ideas other than what i have in mind at the moment.

A FASS would be worth it BEFORE injectors.

I really enjoyed my 65HP injectors, but went bigger as I wanted more. I ran the 65's on both a HY35, and HX35 turbo, with a Edge Juice with Attitude for fueling.

Any other ideas. What would i all gain with the fass before i get the injectors.
I have been told i can do 100hp but i was thinking 75hp or 85hp because of price but i am now considering 100hp.

The biggest thing you would gain is piece of mind. Peace of mind that you won't be starving your VP44, and having to replace it to the tune of $1000+.

What kind of transmission do you have? A clutch is a good idea for a 5 or 6 speed, and a Torque Converter and Valve Body for an Auto.

100's would be good, as long as you watch the EGT's.

biggest bang for the buck once you put a fass on it would be ditch the superchip and get an edge comp. you need a fuel pump now or your will be spending money on something you could have prevented

What would be the best edge for the money? What about smarty, banks, bullydog or any others? 800 is the max i want to spend on a chip with a display screen and i know edge offers that. Also would it work to do the edge first before the Fass or is the Fass the best early investment.

Also if i get a Fass fuel pump what size would be the best. The standard to moderate or moderate to extreme?

a fass 95 will be plenty I made 600 with mine... I don't know the cost of the edge systems I am in process of building a 12v fummins so I have not kept up on pricing but the edge juice with cts seems to be the most popular even the cs would be nice just depends on what you can get one for. Fass is the best investment for one of these trucks because the factory lift pumps fail and take out the 1k+ injection pump

Good choice! Definitely upgrade your chip before going bigger on the injectors... And a lift pump is a must as well
