Except they aren't old any more. They're 180/80's

Ouch lol

But even a vise doesn't cost 1500!

On a side note Todd, your running Stage IIs on a 17*? We were discussing in Byrons thread that a T500 was needed for Stage Is, so hows that work. I need edgmacated!

A stock 15* will "run" any injectors you want it to, just not efficiently because it doesn't move enough volume to hold 3000psi of pressure with bigger injectors. A stock 17* will usually hold around 2000-2500psi with 80% nozzle stage 2s in a race tune depending on how strong the pump is. Lower power tunes will require less HPO volume also, so injectors can be made to work with tiny HPOPs. It just won't run nearly as good as it could. I bet in a good race tune Todd's ICP will spike 3000+psi and then drop down quite a bit.

Ya, its all in how you drive and use the truck. I had the stock 15 and stage ones w/ a chip and when I bought my trailer, I set a cel, 1211, with the trailer empty on my way home in the 140 tune. I had to set my chip to stock to get home without setting a cel. Heck, my T500 isn't keeping up with mine when I'm in a real hard pull. That will be taken care of though.

Afternoon folks. Was supposed to go retrieve a new bed for my 1/2 ton but plans fell through for this weekend. S'alright - got other things to do, and rumor has it some local friends want to go out for my birthday. God help me lol.

Those foreign cars are the worst man. Got a friend who wants me to help with an Audi heater core, and I said no thank you...lol.
