Well the injectors are Bill Heath's modified output Bosch injectors, if hat means anything... I'm installing a triple gauge kit next week with egt's, boost and fuel pressure. I am currently running SSD's S+B intake. Truck has 235,000 kilometers.

DSG in Saskatoon sells the 40 horse marine injectors that everyone says just make a bunch of smoke and burn fuel. If I get his computer, I want to seal the deal with the injectors that are made for it. But it will work with either standard or high output.

i go with standard if it was me to me 40hp injector not going gave you more fuel the IP is only going put out so much PSI in fuel and not going gave you more so to me just wasting money marine injectors

marine injector can hurt your IP cause of the higher pop pressure

you need a hotter tune than an GL4 to take advantage of marine nozzles. put in the regular ones and you will be happy and will have more money in hand

What about rebild kits for injectors ? on my 6.2 yrs ago a buddy tested them and the spray was all over the place so he rebuilt mine.After we tested them and they poped at the right pressure(cant remember the exact psi) and had a nice even mist.Do they sell rebuild kits to up pressure and fuel delivery ?
