so what is the concensus? Worth it or not?

 

What I think needs to be done is:

Run a truck on the dyno with the pump in its stock position with and without the spacer.

Then compare the torque curves.

 

how much is it? the price is not on their website?

 

105 shipped. A little less if you buy one of their fuel pins and combine shipping.

 

Head, didn't you install one too?

 

Did you pull your injection pump or steering pump to get to the screws?

 

I had it done by a diesel mechanic. I hate messing with it. I usually break something else in the process.

 

Do you like it John? Thomas (alwaysworking) PM'd me and said he was going to give me a call today about 3:30. I should know more after that.

 

Oh yeah I like it. It's much better than no timing at all. You see, the shop that reinstalled my IP siliconed it in place at the stock timing position.

Real nice eh?

 

Is this one of those "you get what you pay for" types of things?

 

haha, not sure what you mean... is it worth $105? hard to say. It could be cheaper, but he's got a monopoly on these for now.

 

I meant getting your pump siliconed to the cover.

 

Okay I talked to Thomas. The maximum, in a stock truck, that the timing piston can move for lack of a better term is 2.4mm. So low end is good but when it hits that limitation there is no more advancement so the high end loses power. After putting the spacer on it allows the piston to move another 4mm to around 6.4 max, so your timing keeps "dynamically" advancing past the 2.4mm limitation and the timing keeps advancing as the rpm's get higher. Thus the best of both worlds. He said that his pump is back in the stock position with the spacer on. That's the skinny on it according to how my "pea brain" interprets it. I like the idea myself.

 

once time and money allow, I plan to do this exact thing. The problem is, is that it's going to cost me a bit of money in dyno time.

 

does any one know whats involved in the installation and how hard it would be?
