Hey guys just wanna start of with a thank you in advance for reading this If anybody can answer my questions I’d appreciate it. To start i am taking my 2005 f250 superduty to get head studded. I’m doing ucf heads with hi rev springs. I wanted to add injectors and a turbo. For the turbo I am going with kc stage 2. It pairs best with 175/30 or 190/30. So my questions are as follows

1. if I do the injectors right now since the heads are going to be swapped, would the 175/30 cause unwanted smoke/coal?

2. I have the evolution edge 2 tuner, how would the tuning work with the new injectors, and would it mess them up?

3. Does anybody know what the actual proven power gain is from the tuner on a stock 6.0 and if it will increase with the new injectors and turbo. Because apparently the turbo and injectors should put me up around 550ish give or take. Although the tuner says to add 150-200 hp to my already 300 hp truck. So wouldn’t it already be 500. I guess what I’m getting at is will the tuner stack the power with the new mods or just support the

I removed the catalytic converter, but when smog comes around I want to be able to put it back to stock tune with the bigger injectors, and hopefully not roll coal that’s a main concern. Thanks to commiefornia.

You will need some custom tuning to run that bigger turbo and bigger injectors. That edge will shred your tranny in a hurry. On stock fuel the main rule of thumb I always heard was 425 HP is about the max. Now that I believe is at the wheels where you could be turning 500 at the crank possibly but not at the road.

Just turning the truck back to "stock" with those bigger injectors is going to fail your smog plain and simple. Again you are going to need custom tuning to run this truck and see any improvements on your add ons.
