Howdy all,
Just thought I'd share the great news about all the BOMBing I did at the Crntral CA meet at Brandon's shop in Modesto yesterday.
Godzilla got the following BOMBs:
4" Jardine exhaust
DD Stage 3 injectors
boost module
Brandon's fuel line upgrades
full Psychotty air system
Amsoil in both differentials
Sometime later this year: new clutch, HX40, hot "box" of some sort.
Now, for some of my initial impressions.
4" Jardine exhaust: There definitely is a drone in the cab, but in my truck, it seems to be fairly constant from idle up through 2600 RPM. Nice low rumble. But that's why they make stereos, to drown out that sort of noise.
Psychotty: I had the K&N RE-0880 for the last 3 months and no silencer ting. The K&N by itself definitely allows the turbo spool up whistle to be plainly heard, but usually only when boost is building up, or is fairly high. Now, with the full Psychotty, there seems to be whistle even while at idle at a stop light. Again, crank that stereo if you don't like it.
DD Stage 3 afterburners:

Not much else to say here. Man, when you light the afterburner (push the go FASTER pedal), oh boy, does it ever respond!!! Of course since I still have the stock ETH clutch, and the HX35, I haven't pushed the pedal all the way to WOT, as I don't want any EGT problems. Last night coming home from Brandon's shop (about 120 miles), I practically had to keep one foot on the brakes, as Godzilla just wanted to FLY on the way home. All I have to do is think about hauling butt, and he hits 90 in nothing flat. Somebody's gonna have to hit me with a brick to wipe the smile off my face

[Edit]: As far as smoke goes, I had a few of the other TDR folks follow me around Modesto at night looking for a place to eat, and asked how much smoke I was putting out. I admit I still haven't sent the go faster pedal all the way to the floor, don't want to blow the clutch yet, but so far, it has only smoked once, when doing a 3rd gear start from a rolling stop and getting on it a little. [end Edit]
So, to all those considering injector upgrades, my advice: Don't diddle with piecemeal upgrades, just save up until you can go all the way the first time! DD Stage 3's the first time!!
I would like to specially thank Nowel, Brandon and Chris Sutton [csutton7] for their fantastic help in doing the installations of all these BOMBs!!! Godzilla thanks you all very much, and so do I.
