Ok, so they are in and here is the wrap up/initial thoughts. The truck as it sat had the stuff in my sig, the injectors had about 20K-ish on them (give or take a few thousand miles). The truck had developed a few driveability issues over the last year or so. POD haze on steroids! I would have to bump into neutral and raise the RPM`s @ stoplights/in traffic to LESSEN the acrid plume that followed me everywhere I went,it never went away totally and was the cause for many many dirty looks from my fellow drivers (you know, the kind that roll up their windows...even on a beautiful spring/fall day to avoid being gassed by noxious diesel haze....oopsie). Truck had developed a very noticeable miss at idle. The fuel economy, not that I track it on paper had fallen noticeably. Overall the thing ran poorly/stinky and lacked the power it had when I 1st put the PODs in. These new sticks however...holy (lack of) smokes!! I put them in, leaving all other settings as they were (pump timed to the head, idle screw in to about 900-1000 with the PODs in). Fired it up, ck`ed for leaks (none) and took it out for a spin. 1st impression other than a far more even/smoother/clean idle was idle EGT`s down by about 100 to 200deg, out on the road the bottom end sogginess was still there (too much timing IMO) but overall the thing pulled better/cleaner/smoother (seeing a pattern yet,lol?). Low throttle/cruise EGT down about 100-ish. Butt dyno says power up slightly but not drastic, WOT smoke down to an initial blast of black/gray that QUICKLY clears up to a modest gray plume (a GOOD thing IMO). WOT EGT with the timing @ the head I did not get a chance to note as Mr. Gendarme was about and I don`t want any tickets :-). Took it back home and rolled back the timing to the standard 1/8 in bump, re-adj the idle speed down a hair and readjusted the throttle and TV cable settings. Back out on the road I went, immediately (as in backing out the driveway) I noticed throttle response WAAY up (hooray for a sane amount of timing), took off down the road with a HUGE smile on my face...I really do NOT like big timing driveability, the truck is SOO much more responsive down low (where 95% of my driving is done). The backed off timing showed all EGT`s up a bit as expected, idle is back to around 300, cruise/part throttle back to around 600-800, and WOT peaked at 1300 but I got out of it because I was frikkin flying (that whole ticket thing again). Around town driving does indeed find the turbo lighting easier/sooner but that was never a real issue with the truck but a nice little side benefit. Peak boost that I saw was in the 30-ish range, the PODs could bury my 35lb. gauge if I kept in it long enough but I backed out of it before that today although I suspect peak boost #`s not too drastically different than before. All in all I am SUPER happy with these injectors, almost to the point that I was going to finally put in the 3200 spring I have sitting here but due to the lack of the proper allen wrench and diminishing daylight and time I think I might just wait till I put my spare pump on.

 

Oops, I meant to say 4x12s. That's all I've ever heard too.

Sounds like they are a good set of injectors. Where or who did you pick these up from and, if you don't mind me asking, how much did they run you?

 

Lee Jesse made them for me...pm me for what I paid.
