Default 7.3 power question

I have a friend that has a 2000 stroke with a afe cold air intake , full 4" exhast ,edge evoulution ,and everything else is stock. He has a bad injector and is wanting to replace all of them with performace injectors . What is the best choice ? The truck tows 6-8000lb occasionally , and has 275,000 on the odometer. Thanks in advance for your help. I almost forgot , it's got a rebuilt auto with a shift kit.

Is he happy with stock? Does he want a little more horsepower? If so, how much is sufficient? Does he have a budget? Answer those questions and we can point you/him in the right direction...

He needs to talk to an injector builder like Rosewood, Full Force or Unlimited...

He can get his injectors rebuilt for cheaper than buying new. Some AC's or stage 1's single shots will do him good. Anything more than those and he will need to start looking at other upgrades. He should also think about getting a custom tuned chip like a TS chip with custom tunes on it to run the injectors properly.

Need to make sure he has gauges, then throw a set of NEW AC injectors and a chip tuned for them.

350hp, stock turbo and your good to go.
