Question Already have some perf. upgrades. Need help with what else....injectors...???

I have an 05 f250 6.0, I so far have put 5" turbo back exhaust, a Bullydog PMT, an Airaid intake and throttle body spacer for upgrades on the performance end of things.
I have also put a 6" RevTek lift with 37" procomp X A/T's.

The truck is a daily driver and I have been completely happy with it so far I have had it for about 18months now and put about 50 000 miles on it. The truck does get wheeled sometimes when my Samurai is down, but I rarely ever beat on it and am pretty much on the tow (+50hp) setting on the PMT.

I know I will need a new transmission sometime but havent had any troubles yet.

I was wondering what essential upgrades I should be doing to the engine.
I am going to put new head bolts in it next for sure, but dont know if I should be upgrading my injectors and if so what kind I should be putting in.

Any other suggestions would be awesome too.

yeah id say injectors would be a good idea, after you stud your heads though

Do the injectors when you get the Studs. I would also look at dropping the Bully Dog and going with a SCT Tuner.

I've been reading that about the SCT but I do really like the PMT for the most part and have had it for over a year. I was wondering what makes the SCT so good and what options it has.

Also is it better to have a certain size of inj with the mods I have or can I go with pretty much whatever I want?

The SCT can be custom tuned... Which you WILL NEED to take full advantage of your injectors when you get them. You should do studs before injectors though. You can adjust almost anything on the SCT, plus IT ALSO TUNES THE TRANS. Get the SCT tuned by Innovative Diesel, you will be happy I promise.

Far as injectors, you should be able to do 190's for a while before Turbo upgrade, but you will need to upgrade the turbo soon.
