well I'm picking mine up tomrow at a local bosch dealer, how hard is the instal, should i grind the lever after i get gauges?, is that to much power for an auto? thanks

 

The install is time consuming and a little nerve wracking, but it shouldn't take more than 3 or 4 hours. You will want some help when it comes time to remove and install the spring itself unless you have three hands.

If you aren't towing heavy, the automatic will handle a ground lever and stock injectors.

 

anyone everyran a stock auto with the spring and ground lever and pod injectors?

 

I'm running ground with 3200 and stock injectors. There is no problem with my set up so far. I love it

 

Fair warning, both my first gens have the fuel cranked up on the pump. The fuel shutoff solenoids can not take the fuel pressure. The rubber tip on the solenoid will get a chunk blown off of it and engine wont shut off any more. If you crank up the VE pumps too far it will happen. There is a shutoff lever on the side of the pump that you can hook up a shutoff cable or modify a second gen solenoid to that lever.
Piers makes a shutoff solenoid that they claim will take the extra pressure Mine lasted 2 days and it was history. Not trying to scare you just letting you know, be prepared. It may happen to you

 

My tranny is completley stock and with almost 130k miles, no problems at all. I also have never had any shutdown solenoid problems. Truck is in signature.

 

My modified shutoff solenoid is still working after more than a week. I sanded the end flat and stretched the spring a little to compensate. I will let everybody know when (or if) it fails. Oh, and I haven't been sparing the horses for the last week.
