What other "little" things can I do to my 215hp pump to get the most fuel possible out of it without having to send it to a shop. I so far have no plate in it, about 4200 rpm spring kit, excessively cut DV's, and gutted afc housing.

 

Hows it run?

 

Haven't got it runnin' yet.

 

Did you make your own dvs?

 

Sounds pretty maxed out as it is . Have you done the gov. arm adjustment?

About any shop can cut DV's as far as you want. I wasn't aware that the gov. adjustment was useful without a plate or afc control. SS

 

how much timing are you planing on running, i would think without a plate you will need a bunch to burn the fuel that will be going in late.

 

Somewhere between 25* and 30*. This is a pull only truck. I've run 29* in my other 97' and knock was pretty bad but top end was unreal. I put it back down to 22* for daily driving. SS

 

How bout the turbo setup? Twins Im presuming

I have no Idea how dvs work but I know mine are small. They can be cut down right? How much to be equivilent to a 181 or191? Is this possible? Sorry no access to a lazer but I can use a lathe. I cant afford to run out and buy all the fancy $hit so I have to try and make it myself unfortunatly I am lacking in diesel knowledge...

 

I am also curious to see if you can cut your own delevery valves and how you did it.

 

What does DVS stand for?

 

DV's, short for Delivery Valves.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks,

Do you know how much HP you are making now? Do you have a goal you are looking for? I seen Jeff Garmon make 710hp (uncorrected and #2 only) with a 215 pump so the fuel is there to get.
