Installed the injectors this morning... SWEET!!! The job wasn't bad at all, took 3 hours from the time I popped the hood to the time I started the truck, and I was taking my sweet time because this is the first time I've pulled the valve cover off anything. I think I've pretty much reached my goal of what I had envisioned my truck to be. With my current trailer (21' Weekend Warrior) I think I'll be able to pull every grade as if it wasn't even there... and that's what I've been wanting. I hope to have the truck dynoed within the next few weeks.

Should the day ever come when I start a family and require a larger, heavier, trailer which may slow me down on the hills... well... I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

What brand and size injectors?

Sea Bass

I haven't been able to find much info on the 1.6's. How much different are they than the 1.5's or the 2.0's. I'm curious because I think that's the route I might go once I get my tranny done. How are your temps? Your just running the stock HX-35/12 right? Should be OK I'd think.

Thanks for any info. Doug



mkrenn, I beleive he's running F-1's Mach 1.6's

CTD99

I don't believe there's much info available. I was ready to buy 1.5s until someone on this site mentioned the 1.6s. I sent a PM to Don M and he describes the 1.6s as a few more HP with slightly lower temps (compared to the 1.5). That was good enough for me! One phone call later to Rip, and the 1.6s were on the way.

I've only had the injectors in since this morning, wide open from a stop, EGT hit 1200 (HX35, Scotty II no hole, 3" straight-pipe). Haven't towed yet, but I don't anticipate a problem.

You'll love them! I just changed my jumper setting to the least aggressive setting and am all when pulling my 8k 5r.......

CTD99

Did you have it on the most aggressive setting? What was your reason for changing it?

Sixpack

Yes. I've now pulled the 5r with the jumpers on the most aggressive and the least aggressive settings and have found that on "my" truck the best setting for towing with "my" bombs is the latter. I don't have to watch the pyro as closely as I did before changing the setting and the smoke is almost gone. My 5r thanks me for that. These sticks are the ______!
