Since this thread has gotten on the topic of injectors, Glenn, what would you say you are making with the stage II's? They are on my list, but I don't want to get stage I's and decide that I want II's shortly after..

I was AE data logging pulling my camper yesterday and left my foot on the floor to try and get a good recording. EGT's went to 1,600°, ouch!! This has been a problem for ten years now, I'm getting real bummed out about it. I have to get my water injection working and buy a new aftermarket IC to try and help it. Maybe get some live tuning, somehow, someway. Or, just sell my truck and buy a 6.7

I guess it's time to get extreme then Glenn! Port the manifolds, or get headers, Liquid/air IC, maybe those might help?
I thought 1400 was like the max you wanted to go?! I read that anything past that for very long will start melting down the pistons.

I just would like to know if one of the high priced aftermarket ones would help.

Oh, by the way, that's an excellent question Aaron. I have wondered about that!

I was looking around at CX, banks,several others.pretty much 1200-1300 is normal.
I sure hope this 400 frame hairdryer does OK. But I'm not towing heavy like you. I am ready to see you have some success I'll tell you that. I don't like that ship jumping talk round these parts..

The last data log I did I shifted it my self and had rpm's up to 3,300. So, in other words, its not a lugging situation.
