Question Have some perf. upgrades. Need guidance on others.... injectors....???

I have an 05 f250 6.0, I so far have put 5" turbo back exhaust, a Bullydog PMT, an Airaid intake and throttle body spacer for upgrades on the performance end of things.
I have also put a 6" RevTek lift with 37" procomp X A/T's.

The truck is a daily driver and I have been completely happy with it so far I have had it for about 18months now and put about 50 000 miles on it. The truck does get wheeled sometimes when my Samurai is down, but I rarely ever beat on it and am pretty much on the tow (+50hp) setting on the PMT.

I know I will need a new transmission sometime but havent had any troubles yet.

I was wondering what essential upgrades I should be doing to the engine.
I am going to put new head bolts in it next for sure, but dont know if I should be upgrading my injectors and if so what kind I should be putting in.

Any other suggestions would be awesome too.

casserly injectors, ditch the bully dog and get an sct livewire with custom tunes for starters. then you can start thinking about a fully billet suncoast tranny

You are on the right track with the headstudd kit, it's not a fun upgrade but it's well worth it in the long run. The fords are not very freindly with the increase in boost levels. I have a freind with an 08 450 twin turbo and he didn't listen and he was running it at about 50 lbs of boost and blew the head gaskets. It was a very expensive fix and not much fun to do. I would do the stud kit and the injectors together then work on your trannie along with a nice triple disc converter. The ford trannies are not to bad if you upgrade your valve body and put a nice deep sump pan on with the converter it will be pretty solid...

one more thing while you have the engine ripped apart for the head studs have the person (or if you are doing it) replace the quick disconect on the HPOP line. it has a tendacy to go bad and start leaking then your truck will not start and it is not a cheap fix. but if you get it done while they are already in there for the headstuds it shouldnt cost more than $100. all they do is take out the quick disconect and "pipe through it". eliminating the chances of leaking
