Question Would it be worth it

How much would I gain by swapping my RV275
injectors for Mach 1.6 injectors. I don't want
any EGT issues when I tow.

I think you would gain another 40-50hp (ballpark) EGT issue are subjective to many variables. Size of load, grade, gear selection and of course the right foot.

Go ahead and get a new monster turbo or twins and a set of Mach 4's.

I've got 57,000 miles on original clutch. Would the additional
40-50 HP cause my clutch to slip , even if I don't abuse it. If
so the extra 40 HP might end up costing an additional $1700.00

Mach 1.6 injectors $700.00
OFE Clutch $1000.00

I'll pretty much guarantee the new clutch. My roommate had 1.5s and a comp in EZ mode and he could slip his clutch at will. All is better now though with the new OFE. Wire tapped and on 5X5 he can't slip it. EGT's are another issue though. He can hit 1400* pretty easily and he's seen 1500* on more than one occasion.
