Thanks Izzy
Since I'm on a budget.
I could get in the single shot game with stage 1's.
When the funds free up, bump the stage 1"s, to HYBRIDS.

As I've already said I'll be giving a more complete answer here... https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...tock-7-3l.html ...but only after I've done the background posts leading up to the several I'll be giving on injectors!

That still doesn't answer my question, partial explanation or not.
Just a general question, how come you are just finding this information now? Single shots have been around for a LONG time, don't you think someone would have stumbled across all this great information before now? I guess I need to quit letting logic get in my way of thinking.

It's not quite that simple ...I haven't been withholding anything ...about 6 months ago I bought 5 text books ...3 on engines ...1 on thermodynamics ...and 1 on fluid dynamics ...and I worked for a month understanding how a turbo works ...but no one seemed to care when I posted my results!

Then I moved on to the diesel books ...and I just recently got interested in engine wear ...but there's no text book statement that says "explicitly" that single-shots cause more wear than you get with split-shots ...I had to "connect the dots" ...in fact quite a few of them to reach that conclusion ...and I'm still analyzing the area of wear ...and you can check my latest picture post on the 203* stat thread for some more inputs ...I got sucker-punched by being challenged to a "steel-cage" match and wound up missing my dinner!

This is the first post that I have read from you that you seem down to earth, LOL. Thank you for your input on topics, just know that most of us aren't number guys like you. I don't usually pick up a thermodynamics book as light after dinner reading
