Default Injectors... Any thoughts or personal preferences on performance and durability..

Looking to get more power, the stock ones are on their last leg... Currently doing the complete 6.0 solution... So it will be bullet proof and goin to install H&S Mini Maxx. Been looking for injectors but not sure I understand the difference in stages and CC's in Horsepower terms... And I've heard horror stories about buy cheaper or bad branded ones and just blowing the money.. So give me some input guys... Currently I have an evolution CS, S&B cold air, and MBRP 4" straight pipe turbo back...

We like Swamps. They have great support and good reviews.

High 13s with a 4" exhaust and a SCT with SRL tune, works good for me.

I would only use a FORD OEM Headgaskit.


I would highly recommend a Custom Tuned SCT Tuner with Innovative Diesel Tunes.

You're not going to want the H&S if you're stepping up injector size.

For injectors, what are you looking to do with the truck? What's your power goal? What's your price range? Built injectors for a 6.0 are NOT cheap. Most of the quality units are built from NEW Ford's first. There are no aftermarket injectors. The good shops will have you buy 8 new from Ford, then send them to their shop to be built.

Ford sells remans, that are the best in the business, since they replace the spool valves, which most others do not. They also come with a 12k mile/12 month warranty.

You are definitely going to need an SCT with custom tunes if you want to control those new bigger injectors. It will save your transmission too.

As for CC/HP ratings, most 6.0 injectors are based on CC size. It's a volume of fuel the injector can hold. We also denote injector nozzle sizes.

Stock would be 135cc/stock. Meaning 135cc's of volume and stock nozzles.

A popular upgrade is 155cc/50% or 155cc/75% denoting 155cc's of volume and 75% larger nozzles than stock. Some stick with stock nozzles too in these smaller sizes.

Once we know what you use your truck for and what your power goals are we can recommend a size for you. Do you tow a lot?
