quick question

Ok well I have 6x16s and the pump all the way up pretty much everything else stock and I was wonder what my truck is doing. When I floor It or anything over half throttle pretty mUch it seems like its flooding or bogging? Or kinda a miss and runs crappy? Any no what that could be? And if I get better fuel supply and hx40 would that fix my problem? If not what will?



Thanks
Jon

sounds like your out of fuel. you would benefit from upgrading your fuel system.

Yeah if you're still running the stock LP then it sounds like the pump is starving for fuel and loosing timing. Get your walbro pump installed and i'm sure you'll gain like 300hp and 900ftlbs! haha But seriously it should fix you're problem.

If you run the stock turbo, and don't watch your gauges then you'll start melting things pretty fast. And probably blow the turbo up in the process...

it won't matter how far you advance your timing without a good fuel supply to the injection pump. without case pressure your timing will be retarded.

but once you get a good fuel supply with those injectors you should be able to push the pump to the head. you will know if it's to much.

Once you do your fuel system, archer is right pretty much advance your timing to the head with those injectors.
