Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I was very hesitant to post this for a few reasons but the longer I wait the more upset I become so here it goes... .
I purchased a set of USED Bully Dog stage II injectors. They were said to be on the truck for around 10k miles. I installed them about 3 weeks after I installed the PE Comp box so I could see the difference each one made. When I installed the Comp box I noticed a HUGE difference in the seat of the pants. I couldn't wait to see what the injectors did for me. Installed them, everything went smooth as silk, truck fired up just fine, I could tell it ran a little rougher than stock and had heard this was common with larger injectors so I *assumed* they were good to go. I backed out on the road and gave her heck and was VERY disappointed... the ONLY difference I saw was a little bit blacker smoke and MAYBE it smoked a little more, it's really hard to say. But the bottom line is that I didn't feel anything in the seat of the pants. Also this was immediately after installing a SB clutch so I really should have felt something because the old clutch was slipping slightly. Now I know SOME mods may be hard to notice but going from stock injectors to stage II's... ... I think I should have had atleast a LITTLE smile on my face.
When I turn the Comp box off it feels like stock and I get NO smoke... shouldn't it smoke a LITTLE with stage II's and nothing else???? The part #'s were different than my stock ones but I didn't write them down (didn't see a need to at the time). I may pull one out and call the manufacturers to put my mind at ease.
Now I know what everyone's first response is going to be so let me say this:
I have dealt with this guy before and he has done me right in the past so I asked him if perhaps he may have accidentally given me the old stock injectors instead and he said absolutely not because these were the only ones he had there.
I don't see any way that I could have done something wrong in the install process that would allow the truck to run perfectly fine but NOT have a power increase. Can anyone shed some light on this one??
