Default Too much fuel for stock injectors!

I blew out the head gasket at the front of the head. When I tore it down the spray pattern did not match the rest of the cylinders. It melted the head gasket and in turn blew it out. Apperently I am running to much fuel for the stock sticks. I replaced them with 40hp Fireball sticks. Made the truck run smoother and smoke less.

there would be no such thing as too much fuel for stock sticks! an injector will only flow soo much!

it's probably that superchip stacked with the edge, the superchip makes these trucks have an awful fuel knock, I wouldn't advise running that as a stack as both add timing

I didn't realize the superchips added timing. I thought it was just fuel. Guess thats what I get for thinking. Well I suppose I will take the superchips off. You live and you learn, or atleast your suppose to learn
