Default fuel injectors
I have a 03 6.0 with a 76mm turbo. I only plan on running 11lbs of boost. Do I need to make a injector change from stock?

Thanks in advance.

Yes. You should always upgrade injectors when adding boost, no matter how small the amount. Fuel pump as well.

I went with fic1000s and was only planning on staying around 10psi. Glad Martin talked me into those injectors cause I pushed it to 23psi without having to upgrade them. I had 2 walbro 340lph in tank. Was on a ls1 with s475. Those injectors like 600$.

Oh yeah. In my mind I'd like to do id2000 but in my wallet I might think differently when the time comes.

80lb siemens deka's are the best economical injector upgrade in my opinion
only around 325 dollars shipped, and will do 800-1000hp depending on transmission loss and fuel you're running

hard to beat the flexibility
