New Injector Help

I'm looking at new injectors. Suggestions?

I'll be daily driving this mostly, but pulling and hauling occasionally too. I'm in Denver, so air is much thinner here. I know a new turbo or possibly twins is in the future if I go to much bigger, but I'm not looking for monster power, just a little boost and maybe some better mpg's.

I'm leaning toward the RV 300's or 275's but want to get everyone's opinion and thoughts before spending the money on these... Should I get these or look at others?

Thanks.

Those are good, I have them in my truck and have had for 7 years. I also run an ez. truck has good power and little to no smoke. In hot weather there is a little on take off if you get in it. If your budget will allow it ,I would also look into the F1's.

X2. Those are good sticks. Ill be puttin in some 300's from a buddy this weekend myself.
If your budget will allow it, some Mach 1.6's from F1 would prob really do it for ya.

Looking into the 1.6 and the 2 from F1, do you think the 2 would be too hot for my combo? For only $100 more it seems like it might be worth it to get an extra 15 horse injector....

Thoughts?

If your turbo & tranny are stock, then there at there limit with a wire tap comp. (IMO). What are your EGT's pre-turbo. Any more fuel you will be needing to upgrade both of them.

Tranny is upgraded w/ DTT parts...

Right now Highest I've ever seen is 1200... pulling with a heavy trailer up in the mountains (12k feet).

How much will the 275/300's increase EGT's?
How about the Mach 1 and 1.6's?

When I pull cattle 18-20 k with my 300's and ez box, I see 1250 on the hills. and I have a HX turbo with a stick. The wire tap makes it run alot hoter, Might have to turn down the comp when pulling. If your mot going to upgrade the turbo you might want to stick with the 300's. But if you are willing to upgrade the bigger machs are worth the $$. This is just one mans opion. Take it for what you payed for it. LOL

If I really wanted more power and thought the tranny would take it, I would go mach 4's and a bigger turbo. If I was lookin at gettin the 1.6's, I would just buy the 300's.

You could go with a set of dynomite sticks. The 90 sized would work on a stock turbo. You tow with the truck? If you tow heavy, go with a smaller sticks. I have a set of dynomite stage 3, they are actually run cooler than stock. Of course this wasn't on a stock turbo, either. The F1 sticks work good as well, just pricey. The RV275 doesn't make much more power than stock and smoke more than my stage 3's

Since fuel prices are on the rise again, I'm thinking about some Jammer 50's and have them extrude honed.
I'd like to change the pop pressure too but can't decide on higher pressure/finer squirt but later timing or lower pressure/basic squirt but earlier timing.

RV 300's or if you can afford the Mach 1.6. Power wise they would both be good. Ive been told more then once a good injector (DDP or F1) will actually give you lower EGT's, hence more $ then the RV300's.
