94.5-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke CNC Fab New Tow Master 160/30 Injectors

The CNC Fabrication Tow Master 160/30 injectors are brand new 7.3L Power Stroke injectors for 1994.5-2003 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks, commonly called a Stage 1.5. Built around new 30% over nozzles and tested on a Hartridge flow bench, each set ships with individual flow sheet results. With proper supporting modifications, these injectors typically produce around 375-400 hp depending on your year and build - the most accessible entry point in the CNC Fabrication 7.3L injector lineup, and the cleanest option for towing-first builds that want no fuel system changes. A core charge applies. Not available for sale in California.

Tow Master 160/30 vs Tow Master Plus 180/30 - Which One?

The Tow Master 160/30 is the entry-level option in the CNC Fabrication 7.3L tow-injector lineup. Buyers comparing the Tow Master 160/30 vs the Tow Master Plus 180/30 should choose the 160/30 when the goal is the mildest, cleanest upgrade path with no fuel system changes required on either year range. The 180/30 steps up the output ceiling slightly and introduces fuel pressure considerations under extended heavy throttle that the 160/30 avoids.

Choose the Tow Master 160/30 if your 7.3L is a daily driver or tow rig and you want a clean, low-maintenance upgrade with no fuel modifications in the plan. Move to the Tow Master Plus 180/30 if you want a slightly higher output ceiling and are prepared to manage fuel pressure under extended heavy throttle. For maximum performance, the 200cc Mild Street set is the next tier up.

Flow sheet test results ship with every set - required documentation for any warranty claim. If your year-appropriate mods and custom tuning plan are confirmed, these are the correct injectors to order for a clean, towing-first 7.3L build.

94.5-97 vs 98.5-03 - What Changes For Each Year

The Tow Master 160/30 fits the full 94.5-2003 range, but supporting mod requirements differ by year group - and on both year ranges, no fuel system upgrade is required, which distinguishes this injector from the higher-output options in the lineup.

98.5-03 trucks: These injectors will function without hardware modifications. Custom tuning is required because this is a single-shot injector replacing factory split-shot units. A turbo upgrade is suggested but not mandatory. No fuel system changes are required for this year range with this injector.

94.5-97 trucks: A turbo upgrade and intercooler are recommended alongside these injectors. Custom tuning is required. No fuel system upgrade is required - this is the cleanest upgrade path available for the 94.5-97 platform at this output level.

What Comes In The Box

Each set of CNC Fabrication Tow Master 160/30 injectors ships with the following for the core injector swap.

• Set of 8 brand new 160cc injectors with 30% over nozzles
• Individual flow sheet test results for each injector (Hartridge flow bench tested)
• Installation instructions
• Free ground return shipping label for core return

Flow sheet results are included with every set and are required documentation for any warranty claim. Tuning, turbo, intercooler, and HPOP upgrades are not included and must be sourced separately for your year range.

Warranty and Core Return Policy

CNC Fabrication covers these injectors under a limited lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. The warranty covers damage during shipping prior to installation and failures when all installation steps are followed correctly. It is voided by improper vehicle care, improper fuel, or owner-caused damage, and is non-transferable.

A core charge applies to this order. Free ground return shipping is included. After your cores are received by CNC Fabrication, allow 3-5 business days for the accounting team to process the refund. Delays occur when the core paperwork is not completed correctly. Complete the injector registration and core return paperwork accurately before shipping your cores.

Avoid These Common Mistakes

• Skipping custom tuning on any year truck - Custom tuning is required for all years. On 98.5-03 trucks, the single-shot to split-shot ECU change requires a tune even though no hardware mods are mandatory.
• Installing on a 94.5-97 truck without a turbo upgrade - CNC Fabrication recommends a turbo upgrade and intercooler for all 94.5-97 trucks running these injectors.
• Using the Bosch HP008X on a 94.5-95 truck - The HP008X cannot be used on 94.5-95 model year trucks. Verify your HPOP selection matches your model year if upgrading the HPOP.
• Ordering from California - These injectors are not available for sale in the state of California.
• Incomplete or missing core paperwork - Core refund delays occur when paperwork is not completed correctly. Fill out all forms before returning cores.
