First off I hope everyones holidays have been safe and happy, and heres to another wonderful year of modding and enjoying our rides. .

So santa was good to me this christmas and I have some coin to spend on the girl. I need some advice on where I should go next with my engine mods. I am looking for the most "push you back in your seat" type power, as well as relative bang for my buck. My choices are as follows.
#1......3.5 or 4" exhaust with high flow muffler, with a larger down pipe of course.

#2.......P.O.D. injectors on sale at Piers................half a mile from my house

#3.......Bosch 190 injectors same as above.

#4.......Old smoky fuel pin??? any info on this part from guys using it. Fuel economy??Availability? Price?.

I am also open to suggestions on other recommended choices. I have roughly 500$ Canadian to spend [370$ American]....and want to spend it wisely.

P.S. My EGT's are always relatively low due to the lighter weight of the truck, unfortunately highway fuel economy is always high on the list. My current mods are in my profile.

Thx. ahead of time.
you guys rule.

 

If you want power, go for injectors. The POD's are smoky and thirsty if you drive in town a lot. God, how I love 'em! The good news is my highway economy hasn't dropped any, though I never did better than 18 mpg at 70 mph with the stockers. The 190's aren't going to be nearly so dirty, but they don't make quite as much power. They will be more fuel efficient in town as well.

You'll probably need the exhaust after you do the injectors because the EGT's will go up. Exhaust won't push you back in your seat.

From what I've read, the fuel pin is worth 25 HP over the stock pin at the deepest setting. Injectors are a bigger bang for the buck. Everybody who's bought the power pin has been happy with the results. It's on my list...

 

Piers can also sell you a custom cut pin.. ask him about it.. I WISH I lived a half mile away from Piers

 

hmmm.....I think it's going to be P.O.D.'s. Wannadiesel you made up my mind for me!!
That cut pin sounds interesting crewcab, are you running one or know anyone who is?.

Thx. again guys.
Mad Mikey.

 

I agree with Wanna. My pod's made a big Seat of Pants feel. They do like to smoke though at idle, more like a haze. It will make your egt's go up REAL fast so keep an eye on your gauges. If you don't have any, get some real soon.

I have ordered my smokey pin along with a 3000 governor spring kit. Just hasn't gotten here yet due to driving across the country to get to my house. 1/2 mile from Pier's place. I think you will have most people jealous on that one. Just to smell the smoke as they do their test runs in the parking lot would make me run to their place every day.

Maybe advance your timing after the POD's might help it a little with the EGT's.

Around town mpg isn't super bad, highway stayed about the same. Rear tire tread is decreasing is a faster then normal way though.

 

i too would go with the pod's while they are on sale. great adition.
im currently saving for my power pin.

if no gauges , watch how you drive for a bit.

if you wanna go in order, i would get teh exhaust done first.

Get the PODS they smoke like a diesel should! Have mine but my installer hasn't installed them yet-maybe to Phoenix this weekend for install and timing adjust!
