I don't know the company you state to make an informed opinion. I will say that I think the money is better spent on the tranny to upgrade it first, and then a turbo.
Frankly, the smarty jr on performance maxes what you can safely do with your tranny and if you have a stock turbo, it is almost out of air too. With the 75 hp injectors, you could not utilize their potential anyway and would be cursing the loss in mpg too.

Agreed.. I wish I had done my tranny as the 1st modification. Made the truck completely different for the better.

If you have had problems with the injectors already. Maybe have them all tested so you can determine if they could handle nozzles? Then you would know if $$ need to be spent to have injectors corrected.

IMHO there are two things that every single purchaser of a dodge ram 2500/3500 CTD should before EVERYTHING ELSE: a steering box brace (not too expensive); and a serious transmission rebuild (unfortunately very expensive). No ifs ands or buts about this. Just absolutely mandatory.

To the OP.....if you've already had to replace 1 injector.....then the rest will no doubt need some attention before too long. I know CPP has some good stuff but, if you're going to pull the stix to put nozzles on them.....you might as well send them off and have them gone through.

As for the trans upgrades others have mentioned....I can add no contributions there as I'm a handshaker myself.....nothing against automatics, they've come a LOOOONG way over the years, but I prefer to have full control over which gear I'm in.

I went with F1 Flux II's (100hp) and, honestly, around town the mileage ain't all there, but, on the highway they shine!!!! My truck weighs 8k lbs without the 100 gal fuel tank in the bed full and if conditions are favorable I can get 20 mpg hand calculated. That ain't too shabby for the extra fuel.

I know the owner of this company and banned him for his lack of business ethics from this forum..I would avoid him at all costs.

Lots of people sell good injectors, might as well give your money to someone that is honest just in case you have a problem with your purchase

The biggest crooks you will ever run across seem like the nicest guys until they stick it to you. Some people will do ANYTHING in search of the dollar...me I refuse it from advertising vendors when I know they are not honest. I lose a lot of money that way but I sleep well knowing I am not profiting off of members here being fleeced like sheep.
