Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I had these mods installed yesterday at Ponci's Diesel Center and all I can say is I am all 
. This truck is like new again.
This is how it all went.
First we did the 181 dv's with the #10 fuel plate all the way forward. This helped a lot down low. It was quicker off the line, but not a huge increase on top. From a standing start and a little brake I could get a one legged through part of first gear.
Second we put in 300 marine injectors still with the #10 plate all the way forward. This was a big increase in the SOP meter. Smoked off the line if you planted your right foot to the carpet, but it cleared up very fast once the turbo got spooled up. From a standing started, again with a little brake, I got a one legged burn out all the way through first and a quick chirp out of second . The 10 plate seemed to defuel a bit on top so we went back to the shop.
Brad dug around in a box of plates and said here's one that won't defuel on top. I asked what number is it? Brad just smiled and said it was a custom plate. So we dropped the new plate in and placed it about 3/4 forward.
I told Brad to go ahead and drive. He said you may not like my driving. I said I knew a great mechanic. Off we went to the freeway on ramp.
First let me say sorry to the lady in the mini van who waited behind us as Brad spooled up the turbo. As before the truck layed down a nice one legged two tire (Dual EE) burn out with lots of smoke and rubber. It's what happen after that that made us say WOW.
The truck smoked the tires through first, second and THIRD Oo. We entered the freeway doing about 70 and continued up to 85 or so. Egt's were about 1450 degrees. So Brad pulled over and gave me a shot. Again the truck smoked the tires through all three gears and easily blew past 100 mph.
Smoke is very minimal after turbo spool up. Accelerating from 65 to 85 the tail pipe only blows out a haze.
I must say I am extremely please with the results. I was going to go to 215 injectors but they did not work out at the last minute so I went to the 300's. Boy am I glad because these 300's are awesome. I almost feel that this could complete my mods, but we all know that will be short lived. :-laf
January 15th I will be attending a dyno event in Rohnert Park to see where my new hp rating will be.
Anybody want to take a guess were I will be now?
