Towing with mack 4 (150-200HP) nozzles?
Anyone tow with 150-200hp nozzles? Curious how exhaust temps get. I have 90 HP nozzles now but am considering more power. I just don't want exhaust temp issues.
How's mileage compared to 90 HP nozzles?
I have dynomite nozzles now -- are the F1 or flux or mach nozzles better?
When I tow now (14000lbs) I have zero problems with EGT's. The compound turbos and water injection help. I average about 1100* at 41lbs boost on a slight grade (20%). Of course I'm taking it easy.
I think my dual cp3's are limited with 90hp nozzles. A waste to have them fith such small injectors. But I need my truck for towing, also.
Anyone? Suggestions? Info about early '04 model cummins models would be great -- I have the 235HP model. If I lose 1.5mpg with 150HP nozzles (daily driving) I'm not concerned. But if I get 3-4 mpg loss I may stick with the 90's.
Yet I want to break the 750HP barrier and can't with 90hp nozzles.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
well the big thing will be your water temps if you can keep the egts down. May want to call on of DOns vendors and talk to them direct. You can see from my sig who I deal with and you will get a honest answer. Some people have made some very impressive numbers with flux 2's .

With the smarty POD you should be able to run any sticks you want so long as you have pump enough to run them. Then if you get hot just turn your power percentage down.
