6.1 injectors

[Max1329]

Has anyone swapped to the 6.1 injectors yet I just picked up a set already mounted on a 3g ram intake manifold and was wondering the results I should be expecting

You running your stock injectors maxed out? Are you tuned? If your expecting a HP increase by putting bigger injectors in you're gonna be disappointed. You definitely need a tune to run bigger injectors otherwise won't run right.

While the 6.1 injectors are the stock eagle 5.7 injectors, you will need your tune rescaled for them. On a completely stock engine you won't gain anything using them without some other performance mods to make them worthwhile.

So don't even bother installing it then? I have full bolt on with a built Tranny and real ram air

Throw a cam at least in with, then have your tuner rescale for them. Otherwise no, "full bolt on" does not require that much extra fuel. I assume you mean a CAI (nope), catback exhaust (nope), what fuel is a built tranny gonna need, kid? Hog out the heads, bigger valves, more cam, displacement increase, boost, these require more fuel and would thrive on them. There is a reason these weren't put on the earlier 5.7's; 6.1's had more head, more cam and more displacement, eagle 5.7 has more head (very similar to 6.1, superior in some aspects) and more cam. I'm gonna ask this, please don't get insulted like everyone does. What is your actual level of mechanical expertise, especially as it pertains to modern electronically controlled fuel injected vehicles?

I'm hard to offend don't worry, on a fuel injected car I'm a relitive newbee I've been building carb cars forever this is my first injected build.and yeah I know the tranny doesn't need any more fuel it's just I'm used to writting that when I say my mods. I forgot to mention I do have forged pistons and rods but yeah no extra fuel needed. I know none of my mods specifically need more fuel but I was wondering if dodge just under equiped the ram fuel delivery wise.

No, they matched them pretty well to the setup with room for improvements. There have been 12sec 3rd gen trucks running around using those injectors.
