Well if your injectors are new(er) or at least in good condition, consider looking into rosewoods budget buy stage 1 sticks. My injectors are brand new, so I think I'm gonna just do the budget build DIY stage 1 sticks. They are like 500$ up to 800$ w/ options.

What are your hp goals and intended uses for the truck? What is your budget? Answer those questions and then pick an injector that will work for that...

There is no more DIY kits... Jim stopped selling them a while back...

Really? Because I could have sworn I just saw them on his website. Either way, the budget-builds are still a damn-good deal. The only downside is your truck will be down while you send your sticks in and wait for them to come back

If you are just looking for a little more get up and go, some stage 1's and some custom tunes will do you fine.

If money is no object I would go brand new unmolested ACs.
