Default Input on injectors and what to stack on top of my 6 Gun

Allright Fellers, I need some serious input here.

Im running the Banks SixGun with PDA, Ive Got the Banks High Ram, Ram Air Intake, Techni Cooler, MBRP 5" Turbo back exhaust, Garrett Stage 2 Turbo, Fass 150 Pump, and the truck seens to have some lag when you get on it. Picks up preatty quick after that but Im not satisfied with the "not so fast" throttle response. Whats The Problem Here!

So I thought since I have the Fass pump to deliver the fuel, and the Garrett to remove the exhaust, I should throw in a set of bigger Injectors to see if this fixes the problem, (2007 with the 5.9L, 51,000 miles) if it dont fix the problem, well at least I got new injectors.
But what Injectors should I go with, I am clueless. This Truck is my daily driver. Im kinda proud of it. I do a little pulling with it but not much.

Question #2 Is the Banks 6 Gun my problem, if not I have been kicking around the Idea of stacking something else on it but once again, CLUELESS as to what combination will work best if any. Ive got great top end but really shitty bottom end. Id like to find a good combo that will give me the bottom end, no more lag, and maybe some smoke on demand. Now that Yall have read my novle, Im looking forward to hearing your input.

Since this is your daily driver I wouldn't go bigger than 50hp injectors trust me I know!! As far as lag it is a turbo and they take a few seconds to spool up NO Matter what you have! Get a set of twins for the best response and power. You don't mention stick or auto?? If you want faster response for racing you'll have to build boost before you launch! Hope you built the trans! I have no experience with the banks 6 gun so hopefully someone else will touch on that subject!

Yes there will be smoke!remember your programmer is the main part for smoke and power! Most run a smarty with an MP-8 Not to sure on the banks. What kind of power are they saying? Your stock injectors will give you well over 500hp!! With the proper mods!

Banks says that the highest settin will deliver 126 horse to the rear wheels. but they are also big on their chips not producing smoke. so its a catch 22 i guess. I went with banks due to their built in safty features but Im not so sure it was what I was looking for. Thats my reason for wanting to know if you could stack on top of it or just replace it with another

A Smarty will add over 220hp+. You can run a Smarty and use the Banks for your Gauges.

I would agree with getting the smarty, And the injectors I would say Industrial Injections 60hp honed Dragon Fly injectors you start going any bigger than that your gonna need to change out that CP3 of yours to a Dragon Fire Pump or just go all out with the 300hp Injectors and Dual CP3s Dueling Dragons ha ha that would be bad a** and just do full injectors that way theres no Nit Picky B. S. To deal with..

We have some very well priced Full injectors using the New SS Bodies. We also carry just Nozzles but we recommend Full Injectors.

I would get rid of banks. Everyone i have ever met with any banks tuners has had "lacking" bottom ends. Banks is too conservatgive for me!
