Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Just finished installs..... WOW!

[C4gan]

Just finished with the install of the Injectors and fuel system... All i can say is WOW. Just the DDP's alone are huge. Then stacked with the smarty on 4, unbelievable and just when I thought it could not get better..... Throw the Drag on and look out! I think that there still might be Black Smoke from about an hour ago at one of the intersections i was trying 5x5 on... .

Just want to Thank everyone who helped me with the decision making and the People And Businesses that i purchased the parts from. Dave Goerand, Bob Wagner, Gus @ Farm Boys Diesel... ... . All you guys are great..... Thanks Again for making me a happy Cummins Owner!

Hate to say we told ya so, but we told ya so! Glad you like it..... just remember to respect it & don't hit the go pedal too hard when you see the cars with the little light bars on top!

I wish that i would have done the injector install first..... Those are some good injectors. Did ball joint replacement at the same time. I bought the ball joints from Car Quest and the lowers now come with grease fittings in them. . I was surprised... Had to replace both bearings! That hit the wallet pretty hard! $300. 00 Each side... ..... ouch!

 

[Cummins724]

How do you like the Smarty? Sure makes the truck alot more fun to drive doesn't it?

 

[C4gan]

I have had that for a while... . It def. stacks well with the other mods... my friend has basically the same set-up minus the smarty and i think that he might be buying one, he likes it that much!

Sorry... . I thought you just added the smarty & injectors. I just caught the drag & injectors... . gotcha! I blank out sometimes.

Sounds like you're ready to turn it on. That's gonna make for an awesome running combination. Thanks for the business.

 

[Cummins724]

You have about the same setup as I do, but I have a little bigger set of sticks & a manual transmission. I will give you a great piece of advice after trying many combos..... a Super Stock 62 turbo will make that setup come to life. You won't believe the difference after the turbo..... feels like you gain another drag comp.

 

[C4gan]

That is the advice that i am lookin for... . Thanks! That will be next on the list.
What psi do you see with that combo? I think o-ring and studs are in order first?!

 

[Cummins724]

I run 55psi boost, but you can always turn it down. You can probably get away with just ARP studs & run 45 psi. I just turned mine down to 45psi after loosing a headgasket from a problem with a oring. You'll love the SS62..... my favorite after HTB2 64/14, 64/12, 62/12, 62/14... ... they don't even compare.

When you say you wish you would have done the injectors first, do you mean before the Smarty? before the drag comp? or what. I just started another thread this morning asking what to do after the drag comp between smarty or injectors.

 

[C4gan]

Injectors and the smarty are a great combo. I started of with the edge ez and then the smarty and edge ez stacked. If I knew then what i know now... . I think that i would have done Injectors and smarty to start with. Not that the EZ is a bad product but I was kidding myself by saying that i would be happy with the EZ...
I was running the drag and the smarty and it was/still is a great combo. I think that if i were in your position..... and i was running the drag currently... . I would go for the smarty. This will give you lots of options with different program combos. I saw some pretty good mileage numbers with smarty on 4 and drag on 1 x 3. I was happy with this set-up until i got the bug then opted for the 110's and its a whole new truck again.
I Hope this helps

 

[Cummins724]

I think that would be a good choice... . smarty first... . then injectors, but you just gotta try all of it together..... WOW!

 

[Cummins724]

I would definately call/ email Bob Wagner for the Smarty... . great guy & very helpful when you have questions. He can be reached here www.wagnerandassociates.biz

 

[C4gan]

Icaad,
I guess that i should have read your post before answering above. On that note, with all of the mods that he currently has, I think that i would opt for some injectors. I have the 110 DDP vaporizers and the made a HUGE difference... . Hope this helps and sorry bout the confusion...

OK... ... I have been thinking bout this while wrestling with my son and i have come to the conclusion that after he buys either, first, within the year he will be buying the other so i think that he should just buy both... ... He will be amazed!
