New 80 HP or 100 HP injectors in stock truck

[DHeidloff]

Has anybody installed 80 HP or 100 HP injectors to a stock truck with no other mods. I may do this and I am looking for any input. Thanks

Why not do a Smarty jr instead? You can get 40, 70, 100hp plus you get the fuel timing capabilities that help in mileage.

I looked into this as well... a conversation with Joe Donelly (sp) suggested for my needs, an upgrade up to 70 HP injectors for long life and excellent results... .

I have too many different drivers of my trucks to consider a lot of HP and other engine mods. . we need 500K on a truck for it to pencil out... .

What I fear about the typical box that you'd add a higher rail pressure ... . which could lead to cracked lines and injectors... .

I am however looking at the Edge Mileage Max, which gives only 30 additional hp but with about 5% mileage improvement...

I am looking at that one too. I did one for a friend and found it only connects to the MAP and Rail Sensor. Not sure how they can alter timing with those connections.

100 hp is way too much for a stock truck. It will smoke like crazy and eat fuel. I know because even with my mods I smoke like crazy and before the twins I had lower MPG. Not to metion the stock fuel delivery can not keep up. I drop from 22k to 12k of pressure under hard acceleration because I drain the rail. I kind of wish I went with 60-75 sticks.

Did you use to live in Portland and work on Swan Island??

A local guy here installed 40hp F1's and is satisfied with the performance w/an aftermarket turbo(don't know which one). It's an '05 but it does smoke a little off idle with no load. I'm spooked w/the inevitable emissions coming up. Smarty's been solid so far.

I have 125 injectors on mine and I love them. I wouldn't have gone this big if i didn't have a airdog but with the stock pump i would think 70 would be good. the only other thing i would do is get a boost fooler witch is basicly what i'm using my mp-8 for right now except for when i want a little more punch. the driveablity is great I do see up close to 1500 egt sometimes but the mp-8 is still limiting my boost from what i can see compared to when i was running just a quadzilla boost fooler so the egts will be a little higher. but one good thing is that the occasional high egt helps clean out the carbon build up on the injectors witch keeps them happy

Yes, Now I work for Boeing took a direct job 4 years ago, Live in Kent, Wa, are you still at FTL. I still come down to Oregon and fish with the same FTL guys that I ran with when I worked there. :-laf

Doug, how are doing man?? Long time since I last saw you!! I hope all is well with you...



I had Timberline Dodge install KAX 80hp injectors in my stock 03 and it was a night a day difference in power. Fuel economy was not effected. However, be careful... it was like a drug for me and I fell down the slippery slope of mods. BUT... I have had a blast doing them myself and improving the truck.



Congrats on finally getting a real truck (vs that beautiful 8. 0 V10 gasser you had) :-laf

I bought this new in May 2004 from Dicks Country with the FTL discount. I will never go back to gas. Are you still at FTL, I could not get my wife to move to Oregon so I moved back up here in 4 years ago. I will PM you my e-mail
