Need some advice on injectors/nozzles

Okay all, I need some advice. I just had my VP44 replaced under warranty and am now at 99042 miles. I want to upgrade my injectors. I pretty much have a stock truck but it is a HO which I've heard makes a real difference when it comes to injectors. Here are some questions:

1. I'm leaning towards edge jammer I or II nozzles, would these be good for my application?

2. I don't want to smoke out the neighborhood or upgrade my turbo

3. Should I buy the whole injectors or can I get by with nozzles?

4. I want to eventually buy a smarty tuner, should I stay away from any injectors for that reason.

5. I don't want to spend a fortune here guys, I just want something with a little more punch from the skinny pedal.

Thanks in advance

ya i would say smartys but if you really want injectors go with the jammers if you don't want to spend that much money.

Do you have an aftermarket fuel system, if not you should look into that before hp upgrades, you wouldn't wanna mess up that brand new vp44 you just got.

smarty and a good set of injectors make a great safe combination.

Stage 2 nozzles and a used ez can be had for less than 500 bucks if you look around. Also like Dzlfarmboy said, address your fuels system first.

The main question is how much $$$ do you want to spend?

Would a holley blue used as a pusher pump to the stock lift pump be a good fuel system fix?
