Yeah, four to six grand would be enough for a set of injectors and maybe the rest of the fuel system...

A lot of the cost depends on the injector you get. For example, if you were able to run a set of BD's, they can be had for about 2 grand from BWD. That's my plan, hopefully sometime this year. You can put smaller nozzles on the BD's and have then tuned to run safely with what you have. Jody will be handling my tuning to run with the van turbo, until I get enough money to replace it with something better suited for my setup.

Forged rods are good to about 500 RWHP, and a lot of pushing that limit is going to be the tuning. But, with Jody running the show, you'll be in good hands.

For a fuel system, I would go with ITP. Quality parts, well designed, and Dennis's customer service is great. Plus, you can get a fuel/water seperator/filter with his kit who's elements aren't very costly.

I'm hoping it was just a fluke.
I'm still puzzling over how it failed with such a mild tune and Kevin can snap his axles in half with no problems with his transmission.

Try using a "net" instead of a "com" after the wideopenperformance.
