Beer Need info on chip and injector changes!

I have a 97 f350 7.3 powerstroke and im looking to install a ts 6 position chip in it as well as some injectors but nothing too crazy as this is my daily driver. I recently stopped using and edge cs tuner that felt as though it wasn't delivering as much power as it should have and didn't roll coal either, could this be because I need to change injectors to achieve those things or does that module just suck that bad? Please give insight if you can thanks again!

97 OBS should have AB's, so your max HP on stock injectors will be in the 280-300hp range. Doesnt matter what tuner you use with the stock injectors, there all going to be within a few hp.

I would go with some AC injectors for a good boost in power that will work with all the rest of the factory system (fuel, turbo, HPOP and such).

Not all of them....just the Cali-****-fornia ones.


AAs will put you in the 250 RWHP range TOPS, and that's a STRONG truck.

So my next question is will the ts allow my truck to blow smoke or do I need further nods?

No one likes smoke... Smoke is gay.

Smoke blowers remind me of this South Park episode... Was just reminded of this today else where...

The F Word (Season 13, Episode 12) - Full Episode Player - South Park Studios

Now...

Whats your Horsepower goal? What do you use or want to use your truck for?

You need more than a chip for smoke, but build for power not for smoke.

Thankyou 95 powersmoker! I appreciate your feedback! So what your saying is that I must swap out my stock injectors for bigger ones? Perhaps a 40 hp gain set of injectors will do the trick? This is my daily driver but I do want more power for sure and smoke is just for ***** and giggles but I would like it. What's your thoughts? I want my truck to be able to haul *** ionly do minor towing and whatnot and don't beat on my truck much at all and only have 93k on it.
