Hi everyone my name is Rion and I'm a modahaulic. All from hanging out on FTE " Thanks Guys" Im a worry wort also. One bad noise, small leak or squeak I'm on it like flys on butter milk. I like to tinker and lurk on fte. But the lurking has turned into my modaholic syndrome. So much info and helpful advice on here and GREAT MODS for our trucks. Done a few small ones not all listed in my sig which i need to up date. Also more for christmas which I'm super pumped to get mine running quiet and smooth with FRx HPX hutch no more waiting to fill up with HARPOON mod after xmas and did i mention finally a DP Tuner !
Id love to get up to par with some but might have to start working the street corners at night to come up with the funds...... Unless Tugly can make me a BUCKZOOKA TUBE lol.

I dunno how you do it. Once I got my first hit from the chip, it was all over. I remember it clearly. It was a summer day and my new PSD friend had just put his truck back together after a turbo swap. We puttered around the country block a few times waiting for the engine to get up to operating temp. I was in awe of all the gauges and how much different his truck sounded. I didn't know it at the time, but that BTS transmission was sweeeeeet (my truck is a 6spd). Once EOT was at an acceptable temp, he slowed to a stop. Stepping on the brake, the engine revved and boost built up until the truck began to inch forward - at which point he drove the accelerator to the floor and released the brake. We launched forward as if the truck had been kicked in the *** by King Kong! My body was pressed against the seat and my smile stretched around to the back of my neck. Somewhere between 2nd and 3rd gear I mustered the wherewithal to glance over at the boost gauge which was somewhere well past 30psi. The acceleration just seemed to continue building and we were gonna run out of road soon!! Then, just as the transmission grabbed OD - there was a LOUD BANG!! I looked over for the inevitable sadness, since I was sure the engine just exploded - but no, my new friend was grinning so hard I could tell it was hurting his face. He calmly explained the first time he had a CAC boot blow off he needed new underwear, but that everything was alright. We puttered back to the shop and reattached the offending CAC pipe and shot the bull until after dark.
Later that night, as I drifted off to sleep - I knew my truck would run like that someday...

My head is telling me "Go with the AC 160 stock-nozzle injectors. They're proven, they've been engineered for the HO T444E, they are all the power you really need, and they won't strain the engine".
My other head says "Dude, 100% nozzles and a 38R will give you tunnel-vision from the acceleration".
This is gunna cost me....
