Default Injectors

I was wondering which injectors are better rosewood or full force both stage 2 and if i would need to get a new hpop to support them or could stay with my orginal one.

Either way... I have full force but my buddy has rosewood. Both great people to work.

You will need to get at least a 17* HPOP to run those 2's... Your 15* will not be happy with 2's..

I could be wrong but I don't think a weak pump can damage anything.

I wish I would have atleast considered hybrids when I made my decision. 205cc hybrids are supportable by a stock 15* pump. Or you could get standard 238cc hybrids and have them tuned for your turbo and pump since you have to do this anyway. You can always simply re-tune if you upgrade either.

I'm not saying you should do this, I'm just saying it's an option.

Depends on what you want in the end and what you can afford to run. Hybrids are not for everyone. Just because they only cost 200$ more than stage 2's does not mean lets all go buy them and forget about 2's... I agree, it's an option to consider but not the ultimate injector for everybody running a 7.3L. Paying more for a hybrid just so you can avoid buying an HPOP is dumb when you still need all the other supporting mods to make either a 2 or a hybrid run to it's full potential. Just depends on where you want/need to be in the end. Do you need 500hp or will 400hp get the job at hand done and probably run easier on most other engine parts?

In my mind....and a lot of guys who have been to the 550+hp and back... A solid 350-425hp truck is a great daily driver/tow rig. Do you need a hybrid to do that? No. Not even close. Hell, I'm super happy with my stage 1's and I bet if you asked CSIPSD (whom everyone loves) what his favorite injector out there is... You would be surprised to hear it's not his hybrids......

Small hybrid. 200cc or so...

You could get close with a 180/100 or something like that with the right supporting mods and some good tunes...

Pretty good thread here... https://www.dieselbombers.com/99-03-...tml#post528193
