if i have the hypertech programmer will these ford injectors mess with it any?

no, it will work just fine. the computer in your truck see injectors, just not what kind!! the hypertech talks to the computer directly, not to any specific part. later, brian

what do you call sluggish? is it missing at all? i know these trucks are also horrible for the stupid torque management in the computer from the factory. the converter locks up too early, causing it to feel sluggish. i had my computer re-programed from and had ALL of the torque management removed. it helped tremendously. you should start with the fuel pressure, and go from there. these trucks leave a lot to be desired from the factory, but it's the little things that wake'em up.. later, brian

haha double post

not only a whore, but a double whore my idle is around 700. you have to adjust the idle through a tech 2 computer(dealership mostly the only one who will have it) as far as power, the computer reprogram, headers, injectors, and the 454 h.o. cam really woke my sled up a bunch. there are more things you can do, but you will need all of the above first. later, brian (p.s. i fixed the link to wait4me in the above post)
