Default Stage 1 injectors

I'm looking at getting stage 1 injectors and Ive been lead to Rosewood, so I looked there and would it be worth saving the money and just trying to rebuild my injectors with no new barrel and plunger or nozzle, or should I just spend the extra money for the new parts?

I went with all new parts in my injectors... Just for peace of mind. No need to cheap out on fuel injectors... If they fail, you're stuck on the road with no back up...

the 1.5s are just going to empty faster due to the larger nozzle

If you are trying to get 400 hp IMHO i would just skip the satge 1s and go with either 2s or stage 3 hybrids

My stage 1's did not change the fuel economy at all when driving like I own the truck. When driving like i stole it, you will see it at the pump...
