Fuel injectors

I’m gonna be putting fuel injectors in my truck coming up here. 01 lightning with basically bolt ons( full exhaust, pulley, intake etc). My question is can I upgrade them when I do it for future mods and still have the truck run right with a tune? Or is it better to just stick with stock until I get over 500hp or so? Fuel pump is stock as well as fuel rails. What brand should I get either way? Thanks for any advice.

Don't piece meal your fuel system. Do it all together so all the parts match and do it once.

Stock injectors will take you past the limits of your rods.

60lb injectors can be tuned on a stock truck and will take you to low 600s on pump.

I wouldn't go with bigger injectors now. Swapping them out is easy and if the blowers off for upgrades then they're right there.

You'll need the tune adjusted later for the new mods so adjusting it for the injectors needs to happen anyways.

Why are you replacing them?

Awesome thanks for the info dusten that makes the decision easy. I have my manifold off and when I took them out to check them a few basically fell apart. They have high miles and I’d rather replace them test or clean them.
Maybe clean them but new injectors aren't needed yet.

If you get a set of 60s you can easily be tuned for them. And they're often in the classifieds for less than $300

I can get you a set of SD 60#'s if you are interested.

Just curious: what do you mean some "fell apart"?
Question is, where's the missing pieces?

Hahahah luckily it was just stuck in the manifold. At almost 200,000 miles on them I figured it was worth the money to replace rather than test and clean with o rings and such.
