Upgrading Injector Nozzles?

I've been thinking of upgrading my injector nozzles. Nothing fancy... like the 60 hp nozzles. I'd just like to fatten up the bottom end, since this truck seems really weak down low compared to my 2001 that had DD3's and a power module. I just have a Smarty in it now (on mode 7 for daily use; mode 5 for towing).

I found one listing for the nozzles at $117... safe assumption that this is EACH? Also, given that my truck has 112,000 miles on it, is this a good idea given the age of the injectors?

The only mod I have other than the Smarty is an S&B cold air intake. And an upgraded clutch (listed in my sig).

Thoughts?

Use the search function

You are going to have to do some reading! See what others have that sounds like what you are looking for, where your truck is at for power and where you want to take it.

THERE IS NOTHING CHEAP ABOUT INJECTORS!

Brand new, a set of 6 nozzles in the 50-60hp range goes for about $850. So use your own judgment.

With 112k miles, chances are your injectors may be weak in a few areas. Best to send them to someone who can check them out... @$75 an injector.

Or... just send your sticks to F1 to have nozzles done and injectors inspected/repaired. A little more $ upfront but worth it in the long run.
