Default Can someone with experience please help?

I got all my gauges figured out except my tach “a work in progress” I’m looking at 4-6 straight pipe and a Denny T stage 2 pin, 366 spring, an hx40 turbo, upper & lower gasket set and LP injection. The trouble I’m having is on the subject of injectors – BDs high flow xXx60hp, Lucas PODs, Dynamite 80hp or maybe some other make. Is there a water tight review or a rant on what’s the right ones for power torque and mpg, or do i just tack the makers word that there stuff is the best hands down.

Just trying to mod the old girl be sensible and have some fun.

Thank you RSWORDS

if you use the truck i recommend 5x12's plenty of power and they stay nice and cool. i like my SDX make sure you get them with the correct spray pattern 145* is what you want 155* is marine stuff. they will work but be dirtier and less economical.

Will I need to look in to bigger high flow fuel line, and what’s the deal on Holley black fuel pump? Is it to help the bigger injectors because bigger injectors mean you need more fuel or…
I feel like a coon dog who lost he’s nose, I just don’t know

ive been looking into this stuff myself. if you are looking for say just 350HP your stock fuel system should be fine. a holley black would be a lift pump for your lift pump. it is alcohol compatibal so it last longer with diesel fuel compared to the red and the blue. but still doesnt have a good life span. in your case its prolly not really needed. im looking at totally getting rid of my lift system and going 1/2 inch ID tubing from tank to IP. but i am looking for bigger more efficient #'s. i would say at this point for you, a fuel system would be far from worthless but really not needed.

I'd look at a set of LBDP injectors.

She’s a welding rig right now weighing in at 10,000. The plan is for daily driving and every now n thin tow 5-10,000…

So is it a “you understood” with most of the injectors that they are 145s, and what are the injectors in a stock 91.5 cummins 9mm or 7mm?

And I will look up on the LBDP injectors what are some others, so that im compering apple’s to apple’s?

And the ones to stay away from if any.

And am I asking the right questions
