Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Well with stock fuel settings my newly installed PODS were not impressing me. Add to that my idle dropped about 150 rpm, I felt it was time to adjust my pump. Of course I was in a hurry and flew threw Bob's sticky on VE pump and thought I had some idea of how to adjust the full fuel screw. I'm probly goin to get yelled at for this, but I 'removed' the full fuel screw out of the pump and did a poor job of removing the lock collar. Got the end threads of the screw all messed up from me using the grinder on the collar. I made note of where the lock nut was to the screw and I think I ended up turning the screw in about 3 turns.
Then to the governor screw, well I turned it quite a bit. Tach was reading WOT at 2600, now WOT 2900.
Low idle went up about 350 rpm, now I dont use the throttle lock to control rpm, it idles at about 850-900 rpm, I will get to the low idle adjust tomorrow.
Now for the scarey part, as soon as I took off, it was like a different truck, threw me back in my seat, I couldnt believe the difference!! I could control smoke with my right foot, WOT it would throw a nice bit of black smoke. Go threw the gears a few times, a couple bonzai runs and I was scared, it was like a totally different truck. Oh yeah, time for a bigger boost guage, before WOT I could hit 22psi. Now not quite WOT and I'm pegging the guage(30psi). EGT's before on bonzai run maybe 1100*, now I can hit 1300*, didnt really know for sure since my head was back against the seat and I backed out of it once I hit the red.
I guess the POD'S do flow some fuel... My 4 mile interstate test run at 65 mph, boost remained same about 5psi, and egt's possibly up about 50* to 800* maybe. Ok sorry for so long, just wanted to share my scarey experience, 600 cummins- nah I'll stick with my 1st gen... Bill
