I find this sometimes to be true because the volume of oil needed for the smoke seems to be higher enough for me that it lowers the injection pressure. I have found on my setup with a factory pump. . .. 80 Eco is almost the fastest. On the dyno with the IPR acting up. . . . stock was the most powerful!!

Not really, i'm in Wisconsin. As cool as it would be to have a six speed, I don't think I could rip my truck apart just yet. It is just getting broke in at 48k miles.

I hear you, but all my road going toys are gone so my truck is now kindof a toy. I hate being baited by one of the other two. BTW, keep that 68 Charger. I had a 70 Challenger 440 6pak and still kick myself for selling that but stuff happens.

Cool!! It's always good to know where someone's at.

And WI is a lot closer to Canada that a lot of other states (like TX!!). OTOH, parts of TX are probably closer to BC than you are!!
