Should I Go With 370hp Injectors?

I have been looking at geting new injecters and saw the 370 marine injectors for around $400. I only have a #10 plate and don't want super high egt's or excess engine wear, I want this truck last.

So 300hp, or 370's?

I got them

even with a stock turbo its drivable with 370s, but ur egts will be toasty if you get on it.. Man they sure are a nice kick over stock thats for sure

I would look at one of the "built 370s" like new era's injectors or piers. They will be alot better running than the standard ol bosch 370.

Piers runs Bosch 370's and they are the marine version.

New Era has 370's that Chuck (the owner) does himself.

Marine ones have wrong spray angle and get hotter than regular spray angle.

From experience i can tell you that I definitely prefer the new era 370s over the pdr370s. The new eras are 380 if you send your stock ones in for cores, or 480 if you want to just keep your stock ones.

They are not standard 370s. They have had all the pressures equaled and stuff. Not really sure what else they do to them..
I am gonna buy some 435s from new era before summer..

Thanks, that's the kinda stuff I'd Like to know before I buy. I'm still a little concerned about the heat with a stock turbo and no head studs. Like I said before, I'm not looking for sled power, just good even power.

I already have good top end but not much take off. Just wondering if the 370's are too much for me and my mod's?

Thats a result of the timing

timing and stock injectors are kinda lame, stock timing with stock injectors is cool, the 370s will get u a nice gain down low, but with a stock turbo, not much more u can do with them.... egts will get hot on a stocker if you get on it hard.. But if you drive sane, they are a nice 0-60 or so blast... But they are still fun, i had them like that

I ran a 0 plate full forward, pdr370s, and 191 DVs on my truck for a while with the stock turbo with the wastegate set at about 35psi and the timing set at 17*. Needless to say, i could peg my pryo without a lot of effort, but it wasnt as bad as you might expect. I didnt do much heavy pullin with that set up because it wasnt long before i got my SPS62. Just keep an eye on your egts and adjust the throttle accordingly. Like TXdiesel said, Just drive like you have some sense and you should be alright. Considering that you have the 215 pump your truck might run a little hotter than mine with the 180.

On Edit: Wilderness, have you adjusted your star wheel? Just a thought.
