Just depends on how hard you hit the skinny pedal

you also are going to notice alot of smoke and high egt's. thats the basic consensus. there is much better injectors for the money. thats what everyone told me when i was going to buy them

i had pods for probably 3 months. they made good power and they were smoky, which i liked, but the truck seemed to run a little rough. my mileage went from about 19 to 17 with the injectors but im 19 and i love the skinny pedal . youll like em until you want more power

Well im getting them for $250 and with only 5k miles on them, I was just curious how bad my mileage would be and generalC helped, that's not to bad like I thought.

Thanks

hey 250 bucks cant beat em. go for it ill guarantee there better than stock if your runnin a stock wH1c though i would leave it turned down a dab cause egts will climb purty fast. mine werent high because of the 62 but a H1c has its limits. hope everythin goes well

They will be a nice improvment over the stock I/Ced sticks...

Remember the PODs LOVE timing

Why such high pop pressure on pods? They probably wouldn't need the timing bump if the pop pressure was set to 3600.

What would be a good timing set for the pods?
