Actually...you may be on to something Bill. Im pretty sure i have one bad injector because when its cold you can hear a definite miss. Could that cause a vibraton that can be felt but only above about 2200 rms when im getting on it?

Exactly what mine is doing, but at 1600 and 2200 rpms. Those are the worst two places I feel it. I'm thinking my problem is injectors too.

I havent had a miss on the 7.3l, but when my 6.0l would miss it was almost like running over a 2x2. It bucked pretty good.

No blame to be had, this is FTE! Its what we do But idk why i didnt relate this to Bills thread lol! I think we may have the same issue-Bad Injector. I did a buzz test when i first got my truck, and the last one #8 was off to my ear just a little, and when its cold you can hear it plain as day, especially on light exceleration.

Well my long term goal was stage 3's and my H2E...but seeing as how my new plan is to turn my truck into my welding rig, I wont need 550HP and will need my truck to be SUPER reliable and have my EGT's manageable. So it seems Stage 1's, T500, and S366 with the usual supporting mods will be my new plan
