Well Tim at TRE DIESEL hooked me up with a new helix 2 cam and F1 valve springs this past weekend that completed my buildup for now. On the drive home from Virginia Beach I had a LOT of fun. I have noticed an immediate difference most prominently in reduction of EGT's in high fueling situations. With my Smarty on 5 EGT's stay under 1400 in most situations with the exception of flooring it going up a big grade starting at below 2000 rpm, which is saying a lot with the injectors that I have. Most of all now I have a piece of mind in letting the monster rev all it wants without worrying about valve float with the new springs. On my 600 mile trip home, running 75-80, sometimes 105 I averaged 17.5 mpg. I am pretty sure I can manage 18-19 if I keep it under 70, yeah right. I think that is pretty good considering at that level I am probably driving around with 500-550 rwhp. Now all I have to do is get on a dyno sometime this year to see if I have hit my goal of 600 rwhp, which I am pretty sure I have done, this thing pulls like nothing I have ever been in. It is flat out awesome to be going up a big grade at 70, punch it, and have your guts push the seatback and hit 100 with reasonable EGT's. I will report back with more impressions after a few more miles. Thanks Tim and Tim C. Jay

 

nice set for sure. congrats and enjoy

 

im sure you will be surprised at how much power your gonna make. im very certin that you have surpassed your goal of 600hp.

 

Took a another trip last weekend to my parents house about 300 mile trip up I-75, ran smarty on 5 and 7 round trip averaged 17.99 mpg. I am very impressed with my setup and am finished with my buildup for now. Still having problems with my dipricol rail gauge which is replaced with a new one, it reads erratically every since I put to cp3 on, but I can't complain, tons of power and no CEL's. The cam and springs were definitely worth it. I even had some fun with a crotch rocket, yeah he took me, but he was surprised when I was keeping about 2-4 carlengths behind him from 65 to about 90. I gotta be careful, already one ticket in the past couple of weeks. Jay
