Matt, it's good to hear you got your sensor thing sorted out. I guess that's the perks of owning a new truck.
I might make it down to Priddy the first weekend in April. I'll have to check and see first. Has anything been decided about a meeting for this month?

Stupid question...maybe....maybe not?...
Ok, going to look at putting some injectors on my truck if it doesn't sell. Maybe about 100hp minimum. What I'm wondering is if they are going to really be bad about the mileage?? I don't care about pulling a loaded trailer with cause I want the power and that's fine then but when I'm not pulling anything is it still gonna suck?

Usually the mileage is better with the lower output injectors, I'm thinking 100hp is the last one that will help your mileage, after that your using fire hose nozzle's and it'll start hurting.

Oh man, really? Even if I do a different turbo and all? I guess I need to look at a good chip to stack with what I've got then. Like maybe a 65 or 90hp injector? Maybe I'll do the 65 and stack something as well. I saw a redline box on a website that was only a fueling box that did 85hp. It was adjustable for about $430. I know those bigger boxes from them are for the pulling crowd and stuff. I'll see what my mechanic says about it. Or the Smarty would be my next choice.....probably a bit better spent getting that for about$650 and like 170hp. We'll see. I've been turbo shopping and it'll cost about $1600 for a real good one that will match super well what I need. I don't want to do twins cause that'll be about $4k easy lol lol.
There's a guy coming tomorrow to look at the truck and another that's supposed to call me Tuesday on it, so whatever they decide I'll either keep it or sell it.

I was just reading on the Mach 1.6 injectors they're 90hp and say they're the best for increased fuel economy, towing injector, and it's about $100 more for 25 more hp. I can always turn the other power adders off or down. Might be ok??

Ok, another question. I seem to have my own page here just about lol lol.
What have you guys heard about Dr. Performance products?? Just heard of them but nothing else? Or you know how good/bad they are? Thanks!

I've heard people that like their (Dr Performance) injectors but not their boxes, but the people who have run just their boxes like them. (I think because they haven't run anything else to compare to.)

NO DR. PERFORMANCE!!!! Junk! Ive heard horror stories of what they did to customers' trucks there to get the power level they promised...such as cracking the valve on a NO2 bottle in front of the filter to get they dyno numbers up. Then I had a guy that used to work there install my first set of gauges and took many many shortcuts that I had to fix later on.

If you really want to know about DR. P give me a call, I know quite a few people that have worked for him and have seen how he will cheat to make your truck make the dyno gains he promises, needless to say I am not a fan of him or his products. Just my .02.
