hey, i was thinking about getting some bosch 370 injectors. I already have a #10 plate and im getting a pyrometer soon too, will this blow my tranny with the plate and the injectors? Also, is there anything i can do to beef up my stock auto tranny, thats not to expensive?

 

I would expect the tranny to die pretty quickly with 370's and a 10. If you pulled the plate all the way back, and drove easy it would probally be ok.

Tyler is holding (Well... sort of holding) 399 hp with just a DTT valve body. I think he spent less than $500 on it.

 

The injectors and plate will do bad things to your tranny. There are ways to bulk it up for not to much. You could install an aftermarket valve body and improve the holding power. Give Dave Goerend a call and he'll tell you what you need. If you get 370's I would recomend geting them from Piers Diesel. They do not haze at idle and offer a little more power with lower EGT's and smoke.

 

would 330 injectors be better for the tranny/but still give me good power?

 

Not sure how much the 330s would give you, but I'm sure they would be easier on your tranny...

But I have heard lots of people wish they had gotten bigger injectors, but never heard of anyone wishing they had gone with smaller ones.

 

I'd emagine that 330's would also be pretty hard on a stock tranny. A valve body upgrade could possibly hold it. I wuld go with 370's and build the trans to match.

 

You could slide your #10 forward and turn your starwheel up and move your afc and KEEP your stock injectors and your still going to need tranny work. Get the 370 's and build the tranny and get a pyro.

 

so if i do anything else more, ill have to build a tranny? how much does it cost to build a tranny?

 

We trashed a stock '98 auto with 370's and a 100 plate. The 100 plate gave it some trouble, but the 370's put it over the edge. Like Plow said, make sure you get a pyro.

banks just came out with a new torque converter thats supposed to hold up to 1600 lb-ft vs. stock's 700 lb-ft. A 128% increase www.bankspower.com

 

I sent you a PM boosted. Personnaly before I went with anything Bank$ I would go with one of the major tranny manufacturors.

 

Uh....yeah they do...bad. And they smoke like a freight train if you stomp on the throttle with less than 10# of boost.

I can't wait to ge rid of them, just need to find the money for some DDP's.

 

Mine don't haze and I know a couple others trucks that don't haze. Maybe it just differs from truck to truck or with different setup's. Yes they smoke, but not as bad as a set of marine injectors.

 

I'm not fond of banks either, but if that TC can hold 1600 lb-ft that should be the last TC you'll ever buy.

 

yea, i just moved my plate all the way forward, and it goes better, is there anything else that is cheap to get more power out of my cummins?
