SO fuel question

Would it be best to start with something like a comp vs. sticks on a stock SO 5spd truck? Is it true the HOs respond better to injector upgrades and at what point do the SO trucks start responding well to injectors?

TIA,
Eric

Most of the SO guys start with electronics. Built in boost fooling, a kick in mileage and more power.

Most of the boxes do boost fool. This is the electronic equation if you choose to run more than the factory boost levels. If you are choosing a high HP box, you will raise that boost some.

The turbo has to be mechanically altered to raise boost. You should have an HX35 and that usually uses a very simple elbow in the turbo to increase it's pressures.

The boost fooler just keeps the ECM from defueling once you get past 22 or so PSI.
