Rv275

Looking in to getting a set of injectors, I still want to be able to tow around 10K. I know I will have to get a clutch if I put in Mach 1.5's. Will I have to replace the clutch right away with the RV275. How much of a SOP difference is the RV275?


Thanks
Clay

The 275's aren't as big of a kick in the pants as the mach 1.5's are (about 50hp difference) but you'll notice the difference. The mileage gain is nice. My mileage went up at least 1-2mpg. I doubt you'll have to change your clutch unless you slip the crud out of it on a regular basis. I'm running a comp in EZ mode and 275's on my auto and it's still holding great.

Yes ,I also run comp (EZ mode) and 275s even with the comp off the 275s alone make any load feel much less.

Thanks for the info, I guess I will get a set of RV275 for now then when I need a clutch down the road I will upgrade both, no sense throwing away a good clutch for now.

A quick diary excerpt from a week in the typical RV 275 purchaser's life:


Day one : Install RV 275's in the rig

Day Two: Man this thing pulls Nice, this is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Day Three: Yep, its definitely a bit faster.

Day Four: Well, I could use just a bit more, but its OK

Day Five: I think I am getting really used to it, cuz its doesnt seem much better...

Day Six: Maybe I should have gone a little bigger...

Day Seven: I AM BORED TO TEARS WITH THEM...

Day Eight: Install REAL injectors....

Day Nine:
