Well if your injectors are new(er) or at least in good condition, consider looking into rosewoods budget buy stage 1 sticks. My injectors are brand new, so I think I'm gonna just do the budget build DIY stage 1 sticks. They are like 500$ up to 800$ w/ options.

What are your hp goals and intended uses for the truck? What is your budget? Answer those questions and then pick an injector that will work for that...

Really? Because I could have sworn I just saw them on his website. Either way, the budget-builds are still a damn-good deal. The only downside is your truck will be down while you send your sticks in and wait for them to come back

If you are just looking for a little more get up and go, some stage 1's and some custom tunes will do you fine.

If money is no object I would go brand new unmolested ACs.
