I wonder what the rep would think about a 1lb upper and a 6lb lower?
Mine was at a safe a/f before the port job on the Apten. After the port job, it was dangerous lean. But that has been addressed

I think you are catching the drift.

Great question.......

When I joined the zoo crew last summer in a tune with Diablo I pulled 496/562 - this is running with a KB and 16lbs boost. All the other goodies re mods on a stock lower.

The tuner Willie, told me that I had maxed my stock 42lb injectors and yes I have the dual 255 fuel pumps. He said that if I moved to 50's or 55's I would be in the 520 hp range (but why risk it on a stock lower, so I never went that direction). He also said that I could lower my boost to help the injectors feed the engine. Go figure that one out.

D-Day

Pete, I got the new fuel lines installed what a class act! The installation went well and call me crazy but I can feel the diffrence. It seems like the fuel is there like right now and the gage set up looks great!

Thanks again!

True Tim, but for how long? I posted a while back about our plant Bosch rep who told me that I was at 98% of my injectors dudty cycle. This was with a 4 lb lower and a 2.6 upper and 42 lb injectors.
We have seen many trucks able to achive great numbers on stock this and that but as we all know it's just a matter of time.

Peace, Suavy

Pete, thanks again Hermano! It used to feel a little slugish at times and at diffrent points in my run it would clatter from time to time. Now it's like it feels stronger and I love the gage now I can see what my pumps are putting out!

Thanks again and I'll let you know how this weekend goes.
