What fuel injectors are your running? Did you have to get it tuned when you switched them?

I cant remember which it is. I did not have it tuned but it is one with individual injectors that can be removed and replaced instead of the whole spider. And aJet power shifter how much is that?

You don't have to get the thing tuned with different injector but you'll get better performance out of it if you do.

what about headers? not a bad bolt on upgrade!!!
also.... you could prob go with a new racing transmission...
"huntforgame" recomends this line, he told me about it just the other day!.... pricing seems pretty decent to me.... installation is a different story tho.

do spark plugs, wires, fuel injectors, and fuel filters really make that much of a differnece. I bought my truck used and I dont know if any of that has been messed with. I am assuming not. I knowI havent touched it since I have owned it.
