I dunno man . .. . .

I remember being broke and spent hard-earned money on what turned out to be stuupid-chit.

I was just giving others a chance to say what's up cause at that moment, I didn't feel like typing a lot while eating. . . . . . . yeah. That's what I was doing.


At Cow tipper:

You can take the money that you would spend to buy a pre-bent set of oversize injector lines for the VE, and buy:
- One of those spinny-things one inserts into the exhaust tail-pipe so as to give the truck that intimidating Turbo sound.
- One of those 10" double-chromed exhaust tips.
- A set of "Truck-Nuts"
- A rebel flag sun-screen for the rear window.
- Be left with a lot of change in the wallet.

. . .. and get the same benefit the over-sized lines would offer.


I take that back, you'd actually save fuel, so you'd come out ahead I guess.


If it's gonna kill you to NOT spend some money, upgrade your turbo.


(CLIFF-NOTE Answer: The VE injection-pump will never move enough fuel to warrant/justify larger lines. The engine may lope, but it's due to the injection event profile and timing being altered by the larger tubes and their effect on the fuel pressure profile at the injector during the injection event. A lope on a VE fueled engine is NOT to be viewed as being Bad To The Bone).
