Lots of questions for those much brighter than me

-Alright, first I am wanting to run a compound setup on my truck and am mainly worried about what kind of fuel I need supply...meaning first what kind of injectors would be best suited for good power and decent fuel mileage..
turbos will probably be of similar hx35-ht3b...or something along those lines....

-What i havent understood about injectors is what is the difference in all the measurements? (example 6x.12 ....or whatever the **** they are)
-what does the first and the second number mean?

- what is the point of just getting new nozzles instead of complete injectors when they are so similar in price?

- on another note, has anyone heard of putting an NV5600 in a 1st gen.

- and I noticed some of yall's sigs say yall have PS intercooler, does that mean powerstroke intercoolers, if so then why strokers intercoolers(are they larger and what years actually fit?)

And dont ask why I want a compound setup... i just want it to play with

- Last but not least...anyone with a junktrag 360....yall had problems with stick having lots of movement while in gear?..(enough movement , that while in gear it is mistaken to be in neutral), if so what what is the problem, fixable?

Thanks,

-what does the first and the second number mean?....the first # is the # of holes, the second # is the size of said holes.
- what is the point of just getting new nozzles instead of complete injectors when they are so similar in price?too pricey, just get new injectors

- on another note, has anyone heard of putting an NV5600 in a 1st gen.been done

- and I noticed some of yall's sigs say yall have PS intercooler, does that mean powerstroke intercoolers, if so then why strokers intercoolers(are they larger and what years actually fit?) Yes they are bigger, and require slight modification to fit

A PowerStroke intercooler is about the biggest intercooler you can put in a 1st gen without major surgery.

What I think is going on with your Getrag:

The shift lever is made in two pieces with rubber between them. The upper part pulls off the lower part. You are probably a few shifts away from having the upper part come off in your hand. The fix is pretty simple, just jam the upper lever back down on the stub, then use vise grips to squeeze the upper lever tight again.
