Default The Next Big Bomb?

Well, I just had Head studs installed, and unlike our cummins buddies, injectors are very expensive for the Fords. I am most likely going to do water/meth when Snow's new stage III kit comes out in the next week or two, but maybe I should save that money and just go NOS.

Thoughts and feelings?

Thanks in advance.

Adding more fuel is easy, but NOS may be overkill until I do get bigger injectors like your saying. There is a limit as to how much fuel you can add with stock injectors, just not sure if it would be enough for NOS.

Water/meth should be enough to keep me happy for a short while

I thought propane worked very well for fords.

Also, water/meth is more for lowering egts, didnt think it would add as much HP as propane or nos

Then again, i dont know much about ford performance stuff. I have read that propane works better on dmaxs and fords than it does on cummins, and water/meth is better on cummins than the other two.

Default Nos and Propane

Both work well on ford just as long as you know how to use them. The main advantage of spraying some extra juice is actually lowering your egt's. I myself am a fan of the water meth kits but I know several people running both nos or propane.

You can take your stock injectors out, send them to Swamps diesel and have them modified for around 800 bucks i believe it is....that is if you can afford to have your rig parked untill they come back.

I think I'm going to clean up the Harley, take some pictures, and sell the thing. Then I'm just going to do it all at once! Injectors, Turbo, Fuel system.....etc.

Anyone want to buy a 2003 100th Anniversary Dyna Wide-Glide 33 hundred miles, all black with Anniversary emblems. Drag bars, pipes, low profile seat, Bunch of other things. Come on guys, help me with my addiction!

Since you already have studs on the truck you can run nitrous. We have customers running nitrous with stock injectors and they're running good. I ran a 12.32 with just a tune, headstuds and nos.
