you can send yours to Rosewood diesel and get them built to stage 1s for 500. He has built my injectors twice now and is a great guy to deal with

 

Obviously, I'm new here. I am not entirely new to powerstrokes. Four years ago, after getting my transmission built at Garend Bros. in Iowa, We put it on his dyno. At the rear wheels we got 186 hp. The chip bumped it to 257, with propane 385. His eyes lit up and he asked if it was propane or nitrous. If we are talking flywheel horsepower, which I'm sure the generic chip is, we are right in the ballpark. +90 can mean add 85-94.5, +90.0 means plus ninety. 90+ means no less than 90. I claimed +90.
I have nothing against custom tuning and I'm sure Tony and others can do great things. I, however, prefer generic tuning and here is why. although they go almost hand in hand, I am more interested in torque than horsepower. I do alot of long distance freeway towing (cruise set at 80). For instance, advanced timing is not neccessarily what I always want. Very few things are what I always want. I do not want a chip tuned for propane, because I don't always use it. Should I tune it for water/meth injection, or perhaps all of the above? All things considered, I'd rather deal with a set known quantity, ie. something generic.
I joined this party because I want to learn more and have some fun doing it. Let's be friends and not belittle each others junk. (of course I'm speaking of my rusty 97 with 270K miles.)

Powerstroker52, At the risk of stepping on any sponsors' toes, There is a diy stage 1 injector kit out there for $250. I think you'll have to have tony reburn tunes. Good luck paintenem black!

Sorry, I confused powerstroker 52 with 96 lilstroker, but you get the idea.

 

Not sure who was belittling someones junk, but Diablo is no where near the best for a powerstroke if you are looking for actual power, custom tunes not only tune the transmission which generic does not do well at all, but it is burned for specific mods, i.e. injectors, etc.

With custom tunes you have different tunes you can choose from for different uses, economy, tow, street, extreme the list goes on. Custom tunes are the best period for a 7.3 and a 6.0. If someone is looking for power thats what you need to get the most out of your truck.

You will not see as much gain with generic tunes and injectors or any mods as you will with custom tunes, and believe me custom tuners know what they are doing

 

I apologize for sounding so nasty, I got a little fired-up and red faced there for a while. I respect your opinion.

 

what were you saying bout those injectors for 250

 

you can get the DIY kit for 250 from the same place I mentioned and build the injectors yourself

 

www.dppperformance.com they ARE a sponsor. It is a do it yourself kit. Keep me posted, I want them myself!
