Sounds right to me. Get that turbo and clutch and you'll be there.

Was your clutch slipping? Did you do the run in fifth gear? How hot was it outside? How high did you get your egt's? With adequate air you should be 450 ish or even 480 ish if your VP is in great condition. If you had a SO and a good set of Jammer 5's and a 62/71/13, you would be around 505/ 1000tq.

Jammer 5's vary between 49 liters per minute to 65 liters per minute. At least that is the flow variance that has been tested at Gilete Diesel here in UT. I think that you need around 55 liters per minute to reach 500 HP on fuel only.

No my clutch wasnt slipping. It actually will not slip ( atleast so far ) unless i just flat out lug it. I think temperatur in a truck said 88 but humidity was terrible. EGT's on the last run got pretty hot. I know i am in a month or so if i can buy a twin setup. So i will then baby it until i get the clutch i need and then prolly bigger injectors!

Well if it was hot and humid then expect the numbers to be a bit low.

My Aunt and Uncle live in Haltom City!

Anyone know how many Lpm a Mach 4 might be? I'm told they are actually less than other injectors, yet still make more power due to the better angles and atomization.

Anyone know?

Id say somethings amiss with your truck..

90%+ people that install just a comp box have clutch slippage issues. Myself included.

You got a comp + injectors and still arent slipping the clutch on the dyno.. summins wrong!

Do you know the fuel pressure you were maintaining? IP / LP age?

Well i have not had this truck since it came off the lot and i know that the person that had it before me straight piped it and i think had a small box so who knows he could have put a little bigger clutch in there? Well and another reason i dont think my clutch slipsunless i lug it is the way i drive. I nearly always drive it easy as possible i baby it so that could help some too.
I know that people that have just comp has clutch problems my 2 best friends have just comp and one's slips pretty bad and the other is hard to make it slip but it will.
