From experiance I would not buy them again, I had a set in my truck for a while then pulled em out and sold em and put the stockers back in. Use the money you would spendon those and get a real set of injectors or do other mods with it.

It depends on what you are going to do. 5x14's will make some big power and are streetable. I see some guys say they need to use some real skill to keep the smoke to a minimum with 6x.016's.

I didnt mind my pods, they were just a bit hazy... Had to have lots of timing for them to be happy in my engine. The non i/c injectors are pretty hazy when the timing is up there too, but when the timing is conservative, the stocks are clean.

POD's were worth a bit of seat of the pants power as well.

As far as 6x16s, they are dirtier than the pods. Or at least all the videos i've seen of them.

The pod spray pattern isnt that far off with non i/c pistons, see my gallery for proof.

i have 4x.014 nozzles but they're not PODs. with my pump in stock form back in september, they made more power (referencing the boost gauge) than the stock injectors (4x.012)

i ran pods and non i/c sticks,switched and tested. as stated pods clearly made a little more power. i like them for cheap power. they do work well with non i/c pistons. however if your current injectors are fine spend your money elsewere.

My dyno numbers are with stock injectors. I think it depends on the dyno, but from numbers off the dyno I ran, and comparison to other 1/4 mile times from vehicles run off that dyno, I think that 400 hp off stock non i/c injectors is possible.

my stockers are hazy just like my friends PODS in his i/c truck. then again my timing is cranked to the head and his is about half of my timing. i wouldnt get pods if u have a non i/c motor. some 5X14's i hear are perfect for a daily driver

I've loved my PODs, for $315 I couldn't be more happy with them. Although I have a i/c truck, I've really liked them and they do make decent power. But if i did have a non/ic truck I probably wouldn't get them since they are just a hair bigger than the stock ones. Like the others said, spend your money on other performance parts or on some bigger injectors. I plan to get some 6x18s someday and sell my PODs once I get some other stuff done first.
