6 hole stock nozzles.

Correct. One in the fuel bowl and two at the back of the head. I may move them to the front as well and see if anything changes.

I sure hope so.

Pulsewidth is controlled through the FICM. This is why it is necessary to have the FICM modified to maximize your injectors.

Have about 8000 miles since the heads were done with well over 500 miles (probably closer to 1000 miles) worth of dyno runs and 30+ drag stip runs. That's not to mention the ridiculous abuse I subject this poor truck to on the street. Still tight as a drum. If they go, then we'll tear it down and try again.

We're at 440 with just fuel. The goal is to hit 500 with just fuel and maybe 550 on W/M. I'm hoping the stock turbo is going to be enough, but I have a feeling that there will be a PowerMax in the truck's future.

You said you were using stock nozzles and we even had a discussion about that... DOH. Brain fart on my part.

Can't wait to see the progress on this as it develops. Again, thanks for sharing with us Bill.

No. It'd be nice if he'd poke back in over here, but last I heard they were a little short handed. They took a week and stopped answering phone calls just so they could catch up on orders and emails and it sounded like they fell even further behind. I haven't seen much of anything with this truck since this last update. I think I read somewhere the trans exploded, and he was having one built, but don't quote me on that. I know he said he was waiting for a trans to come in to move further with this.
