Can't wait to join the Darin club, up a hill with 18.5K with 40 lbs boost under 1200* EGT! That must be glorious!

I know I need a 467 Glenn! Lol I'm sure cost wise it's real close vs a new set of stix. I think we have found and I'm sure you'll be able to confirm with a set of ones, that twos are just too much fuel for a 366.

Here is the big question. If testing had been done before the mondo ic...was the ic bringingthe heated air to ambient? If it was getting close then maybe temp was not tthe issue. The other thing is how much flow drop across the old core? The big issue is how long does a guy test and ponder and stress vs dropping the coin?
.
My other issue rolling around my head is the process of how diesel is used. we are packing a chit ton of air in. Compressing said air until ifs hot as crap then add lots of fuel and bang..its hot. im not sure when you are processing that much air and fuel that there is a majic silver bullett. Though I think Darin has a great combo and so will Glenn.
I do know i am happy happy happy with my combo other than i have some bumm tunes so we will see...

You will enjoy it a lot better Glenn, I promise!

I agree you'd need more air to run the 2's, but towing what you do you'd smoke out the world at lower rpm levels till you got spooling. IMO they just aren't the ideal injector to use towing heavy.

The reason I ask about running empty is because I did not really see the difference my first day of driving until I was hooked up to the trailer and really getting on it. That is when I noticed a 200* difference and that I could not get the truck over 1200 no matter how hard I tried. I am sure it will change when we put in the new injectors this weekend, but I Have been running my 60hp canned tune on my TS, which would usually send EGTs skyrocketing, so I have hope. I used to not be able to keep it away from 1300-1350 unless I really babied it (while towing). My boost has always been around 18-22 after I fixed a few leaks. I thought that was normal fora stock truck with canned tunes. It sounds like its actually working for you. I know the other guy on here who just installed a Banks said that his EGTs will still spike, but the difference is that they settle down and are much more manageable when sustained. I am not sure if this helps. Hope so!

That's exactly where I'm at. Maybe I'm fine and I Was just expecting too much. Same canned TS 60Hp tune too. I'm sure that's part of the issue, but I can get the temps up there even on my stock tune, it just gets there slower. Maybe I'm fine then, I don't know...

I know one thing, I want WM injection before I do stage 1's. I want it for its cleaning benefits, but I want it for EGTs while towing as well.

I think Aaron hit the nail on the head.
Lets say for example without an IC your egt's will hit 1500. The air after the turbo could easily be 300. So if post IC your air is 100, that only 300 difference. 1500-200 = 1300 which is still too hot. In this example a bigger IC won't help any. I know that its not really that simple, but this back of the envelope calc helps get the rough idea across.

So, I pulled into the shop last night where we are doing the work over at Cody's place. What a cool shop. That guy has definitely done some stuff with these trucks to say the least. Anyways, pull in, let it idle for a minute and hear the screeching sound that started yesterday morning. Shut it down and Travis reaches down to check one of the idler pulleys and it falls off! Yeah, it had almost welded itself to the bolt it was sitting on. So now on the list for this afternoon--

1) Two idler pulley replacements
2) T500 install
3) Stage 1 install

It's going down fellas! I'll take some pics, hopefully of Travis's azz bent over the core support....wait, that didn't sound right....
