Bigger sticks?
Would getting bigger injectors with my current setup be very beneficial? or would i need to get a turbo along with it to get max power and keep egt's from getting dangerously high? Thanks in advance - A.Wall

You will be really hot and smokey with a set of 150 HP injectors. I did like the pickup of the RV 275 injectors but I went bigger and now I need a turbo. My advise, get big sticks if you plan to upgrade your turbo some day, otherwise stick with some 100 HP or less. It seems 4-6 levels on my Juice yield the same get up just more smoke and higher egts on the highest levels. I'll bet with a turbo, my truck would scream in the upper levels.

Yes it can be a slippery slope, but everything should hold together fine with some smaller sticks on your setup. I've just ran stock sticks and mach 4's so I won't make any recommendations

You should also consider twins and the rest of the works. (cam, studs o-rings etc)
I see a gooseneck hitch in your sig and assume that you do tow.
Some folks have good results with twins using their HX35 with a modded wastegate and a kind of megamouth and big sticks. I think that with a bigger turbo alone you will be able to keep EGTs in check up to a point but for the price of smoke and lag, and reduced usable power at low rpm. Twins with a small secondary can deliver better spool for the same amount of efficiently compressed air.
