Flux 1's + stock computer anyone?

Just wondering if anyone is running Flux 1's or injectors similar (power-wise) with a stock computer. I would like to do away with electronics for a while, and make a really fuel efficient truck ( - electronics) with a little extra grunt of course. A cam and small injectors are on my wish list, and price won't be a huge factor because all of the work will be done by myself, even though a cam and injectors add up to pretty close to 2k. Any input would be great on performance and fuel efficiency.

They should work fine. I can't remember who posted this now, but somebody said they were testing a new injector for Don that was specifically a mileage injector that would still add a little power.

Without some electronics to boost fool you will not get much more hp out of bigger injectors unless you get a more efficient turbo. I have Flux 1.5's on my dually and with SO program in it is about an HO....add Smarty and it is a fun truck. ks

Sounds cool. I've thought of doing this too, small injectors and a cam. Wouldn't a cam flow more air without raising the boost?

And would adding a cam keep the oil cleaner? I just keep thinking that the stock cam on the 04.5 and up have some sort of overlap built into the cam to put exhaust into the intake, like internal EGR.

The 04.5 and up have a 3rd injection event, that is what causes the oil to get dirty fast due to very small soot. Been talked about on here mulitple times. Do a search for 3rd injection event. All the reading you would ever care for.
