I am amazed

Today I had an 10 plate, 3k springs, AFE intake, MBRP 4 inch straight, timing bumped to 16, and gauges. The plate is in stock position and the truck pulls insanely hard. Cousin Billy (the mechanic) said there is another 60 horse left in the plate when a clutch and air are no longer an issue. He did all this and adjusted the vavles and did fluids and filters and killed the KDP in about 6 and a half hours I was really impressed. But I have definately been bitten

He did all of that in one night?


Somebody needs a reward...

It's always nice to see one more bombed Cummins out there.

TX,
The valves are easy to adjust. All you need is the right size wrech to back off the jam nut, a stubby flat blade, and a set of feeler gauges. Under $10 in tools if you buy cheapos.

yes he did it all in 6 and a half hours, it was 10:00 when I got there and as soon as I pulled in the garage he started doing guages, then valves then timing then plate springs kdp exhaust intake fluids filters and a test drive he got the springs adjusted right the first time in and all he had to do was adjust the idle a little. He also took me for a ride in his truck whick has a zero plate 370's head work a cam hx40 southbend fe and dual six inch staks it was fun. But you can check him out or talk to him on the kydtr site his name is cousin Billy and I was more than impressed with his work.

Sounds like your 'mechanic' knows their way around a 12 valve. Always a good thing.

Do you have plans for your next bomb? It is addictive.

I am happy with my 370's. I am there are nicer (cleaner) injectors out there but bang for buck they are hard to beat. All depends on what you want.
