I have never come across those injectors. We have tried several brands throughout the years here. But the best in the industry, IMO, is Exergy. That is why they are the only high pressure fuel injection parts we sell. If you need a quote, let me know.

if you are looking for just the wheel, not worth it in my opinion. just read up on all of the reviews of the batmowheel. at first it seems like it is good but then as more tried it out and found out how hard it was to install and little to no gain said it was not worth it.

i doubt you will even notice the difference between stock and that one unless placebos work well on you

if you are looking for cheep performance, tuning is as close as you are going to get. after that you need to start saving up. what do you use now? have you tried Efi Live?

throttle response is pretty good on my 04 LB7. tuning pays a big part in it through the ECM and TCM

Also, you can consider the Stealth 64 turbo. It is a drop in replacement that makes 600 RWHP consistently with stock injectors. A great match for any LB7 with a built transmission and a customer that is not ready to build the motor but does want to get the most out of it safely.

I believe that the converters tightened up as the years went on. I think the LB7 has the same converter as the 8.1 gas rig. Also the more HP you make the looser the converter feels

its not like worn feeling just not "tight" but his trans only has 8K on it mine has 181K im not really worried about killing mine i never "dog it" in the higher tunes never past 3/4 fuel always in Tow/Hual NEVER in OD to scared to even run the cruise on the performance tune on my chip its like tow/eco (85hp) performance (115hp) extreme (180hp) all rated at the flywheel other mods CAI 5" straight pipe PPE boost valve Shimmed FPRV so im not sure what it really makes power wise itll kill a 6.0 without trying id just like it built for peace of mind
