I have a 97 single cab long bed, i am new to the site and have some noob questions... i have ordered a #5 fuel plate and i straight piped the truck, just wondering what my truck would be like with marine injectors, i have heard alot about them, just want to know how my truck would respond to all that. thanks!

think about your tranny first at least an upgraded valve body and tourqe converter it not you will need to buy all that and a new tranny when making more power.you will also need gauges for sure. you can get marine injectors cheap and they make good power but they make allot of heat.

okay cool thanks alot for the help, any other things that i need to help start off my truck?

With a stock tranny I think a #5 plate is pushing it a little. Also, I wouldn't start the truck with any mods unless you have gauges; pyro and boost at least.

You'll need a boost elbow. It might come with the fuel plate. A 3kgsk will also be a nice mod.

Okay Thanks Alot, Where Do You Guys Recommend Getting My Guages From? The Kit I Got Came With A Boost Elbow And What Is The Benefits Of A 3kgsk?

I got my gauges from Vulcan Performance and have been really happy. You will need to extend the wires to the transmission temp sender though.

A 3kGSK will let you rev your engine to about 3200RPM or so, they make the throttle a lot more responsive. I need to get one when I do this 5spd swap!

Okay Thanks, I New To This Diesel Scene And I Have Always Been Building Gas Motors With High Horse, And I Trying To Learn More About These Cummins. With That #5 Fuel Plate Is It Going To Be Smoking Alot When I Towing? Or Only When I Get On It Around Town? Im Just Looking To Get Pretty Good Power Out Of My Truck Without Going To Extreme When I Go To Hook Up To A Trailer My Egt's Will Go Thru The Roof. Thanks!
