At least it did not drop busted pieces in the cyl. Are they going to stand behind it?

Yeah that's the one good thing- I don't know if they're going to stand behind it, because I'm not going to ask them. I really don't want to deal with them and I don't trust them to work on my injectors.

Anywhere from 0-1800 Actually once I got it tuned in 1500 was about max. Looks like I'm going to get some nozzles from Fletcher. He figured that they cracked from the heat cycles.

Looks like one of my 6x16's. One actually dropped the tip into the cylinder and another cracked a few months later. I'm afraid to take the head off and look, been many thousands of miles since and I'm not scared.

As far as I can tell. It hazes cold, and there is a light haze out the stack at highway speed - but it did that with POD's. Runs smooth and gets 20mpg if I behave myself. I guess I got a good set.
