going for the 5 x .012 injectors

im down to either low budget diesel performance at 450. plus the 150. core, i dont want to let the originals go, living in cal, who knows if well get emissions tests in the future, and the ddp's at 649. (no core). unless i can work ryan to lower the core price, im still only 50. difference, goldfarb will sell cores for 15. each, for 100. shipped, ill save 50. for those that run either, would you do it again, or are there any other preferences? either way, im doing it tomorrow. im looking to install bigger exhaust, he351, new i/c pipe, and then the injectors, all at once.

My 5x.012s from LBDP will be here tomorrow. I'll let you know how they perform on mine as soon as I get them in.

Holy!! I hope you bought from LBDP. I've only driven up and down my street and immediately felt a huge difference from my 4x.014s!! These 5x.012s burn A LOT cleaner than my 4x.014s also. DDP injectors are honestly junk, overworked marine injectors that are too expensive. You won't be disappointed with LBDP.

P.S. They're prices are going up on June 1st but they'll still be the cheapest of all in the market.

Call Nick and tell him I sent you. He just might waive the core charge for you. (682) 365-9629

I was recommend by Weston through Nick to have the sleeves/adapters cut down to .030". That was based on the rest of my mods so it could be a little different for you. Nick is very knowledgeable having been trained by Weston and will be able to steer you in the right direction. You don't have to have the sleeves cut but either way, you'll need them since the new injectors will have 7mm nozzles.

Nick just now informed me that it might take a bit 'cause he has to order more nozzles. Absolutely worth the wait though!!
