There's been a lot of talk about injectors in the 6.0L lately. We receive a lot of emails and calls from customers hesitant to install upgraded injectors.
Through the years we've sold injectors from various builders(Elite, Casserly, Industrial Injection, Hypermax, Swamps, RCD, etc), and actually still do. I've had no issues with any of them. In the past couple years, we've been able to have the injectors we sell completely tested and flowed before we send them to a customer. This is not to take away from the injector builder, but to assist us with the tuning. We are fortunate to have a local injector shop that can give us the data we need.
Depending on the price and size of the injectors, or the customers requirements, we either resell them from a vendor or have them built at a local injector shop. One requirement that we have, which also increases the price of our injectors slightly, is they must start with a fully rebuilt/reman set of cores. No modifying customer returned cores, they must be completely tested and rebuilt.
Recently, I was really impressed with a set of "hybrid" injectors that Josh at RCD sent us to test a few months back. We will offer them as an option for race injectors.
I installed the injectors in 2 different trucks for testing so far. The first truck was a full race truck. The truck started and ran flawlessly. It ran smoother and fueled heavy. It held great pressure throughout the RPM on a stock pump. The next truck was a local truck with our Twin Turbo Kit. We had a Silver64 over an S480 from Industrial. With a set of conventional 225's, the truck made 617rwhp. With the RCD Hybrids, the truck made 678rwhp. I haven't dyno'd these injectors in our race truck yet, but eventually will. I want to compare them with conventional 285cc injectors, Hypermax Hybrids, and another set of hybrids that are being sent by Industrial Injection.
There are a lot of options for injectors out there and we keep an open mind and tune for all of them. Gaining this knowledge, helps in the tuning process and recommendations to our customers.
Injectors are definitely a tough business, especially in the 6.0L trucks. There are a lot of reasons they can fail. With a good quality build and thorough testing, we can take the scare out of upgrading injectors in the 6.0L.
