DIY-Injectors Stage 1 or 2

I have been looking at getting a DIY Kit for my injectors but i am not sure which kit to buy. Stage 3's are way too expensive for me right now, so i have been looking at Stage 2 or 1's. My question is Stage 1 and 2 supposively they both flow 160cc's so what are the benefits for getting Stage 2's vs Stage 1's.

Thanks

Get the Satge 2's unless you really want the 3's then wait and save up some more money. If you get the 3's get the single shots since they use less high pressure oil to fire. The difference between the 1's and 2's if they are both single is the 2's have a lot bigger nozzles

you have to stick with single shots, that's what the OBS trucks use. The larger nozzles are supposed to be good for an extra 50 HP. You will probably need an upgraded HPOP to get the extra power out of the stage 2's. Stage 1's are great, but if you plan on adding more power, go with the 2's. You will want a larger turbo also. The hybrids are nice, because they use stock HPOP pressure to give more fuel. You will need many other mods to run 'em.

With any injector upgrade, you should get a custom chip.

Stage 2's and 17* should work decently.

You can always go big oil later!

Sqeeks, my recomendation is to go to 2's or go as big as you can afford. With 2's you should see 400hp, maybe more. With the 17* pump and tony's burns you should be good to go. If you don;t have it already look into getting a fuel system, and turbo, I know alot of guys are happy with beans D66 turbo. Good luck modding
