gotta be nice to burn all that fuel at 3.54 a gallon. looks cool with smoke, but i got a lot more $@ck with a nice haze.

probe is just before the turbo on the rear bank (apparently the 'proper' location)

as for $3.54/gal, i wish i pay that... Its well over $1/L where i live! Actually when i left home in Jan it was around $1.10 which is over $4/gal.

Anyways, its still cheaper than the $1.30/L to put gas in my other truck or the $6.50/L gas for my car, bike and sled!

definatly Dynomite Diesel Performance injectors. they are the best money can buy (however not the most expensive)
They won't smoke nearly as much as Marine 370's but they will also make a whole lot more power, and with less egt's.

not necssarily, I ran mine for a good while with no plate and stock injectors. I set my buddies truck up with a 100 plate and stock injecters no leak, and set another one up with stock plate full forward, again has never leaked. As far as egt's go about 1250 is all you want to run for a long time. But you can go higher for short bursts, don't let that scare ya. I've had mine to 2000 more times tha I can remember now, not a problem. As far as injectors go, don't buy 370's, spend a little extra and get a good set, or look around for a decent used set. I paid $450 for my 5x16's(160HP) and they run smooth, and have great street manners.

I agree Spend an extra few and do it one time. As for leaking. i have never had this problem. I ran the 97 for a year and a half with a #0 at FF. Maybe with 191 DVs and stock injectors. maybe stock 94 sticks cant handel the fuel the 180s and 215s can....

best way to do it for free... home grind a #0 plate, gut the afc, if you are just looking for smoke you can take out your injectors and bore them out yourself (or just use a super small drill bit. It will definatly be rediculous

435s are not much more, haze less, cleaner to drive around, make more power, smoke alot and run cooler than 370s. Yes from experience..

where can a guy find 435s?

I was actually thinking about that before... Pick up some new injectors and drill out the stock ones to see what i could damage...
