Powerlabs
We went with Full Force Diesel for the injectors because of their dependable reputation, plus they're very competitively priced. These injectors from Full Force Diesel make up roughly 75 percent of their business, which keeps the company busy with the demand.Powerlabs Diesel was once again involved as we tore into Blue to get started. With the truck being a 2002 and having powder metal connecting rods in the motor, we wanted to shoot for about 400hp with this build. Any more than that and we'd risk breaking a rod and sending it shooting through the side of the engine block. So to keep our motor safe, Stage One single shot injectors were really our only option, which we estimated would give us a solid 50 to 75hp increase.
With over 160,000 miles on what we assume are the original glow plugs, we did a quick replacement and included a round of Diesel RX glow plugs while we were doing the injectors.
