I just picked up a set of ddp 200's will be trying them out in aug and then adding a bottom turbo. My ddp's that I currently have run great and were a lot cleaner than what I had. The smoke all depends on the turbo etc. In the heat most larger injectors will haze. But I think in your case I would go with a set of 200's as ddp's have a 30 day guarantee on them too.

I really like the Mach 4 injectors I recently installed. I think teh way you are building your engine, you would do fine with either one.

Can't wait to hear how your truck runs with that new engine going in it. How soon will it be before it goes in?

It should be done getting ballanced & blueprinted this week & compleat next week. so depending on how long it takes for the powder coating I would be willing to guess it could be in the truck in the next 2 weeks or so. You get the quad box & everything in now that your trany is good? & how is that header working?

Don't have the quad box on yet. Need to get anotehr one of those tech days going and get put in.

I really like the header. On my way out to Phoenix, AZ I jumped on it going up one of the passes to see how high the EGT's would get to. I couldn't hit 1300. I am very pleased with it.

I'd run a set of mach 5's. I currently run little DDP's in my truck, and they are pretty clean. However, larger DDP's and schieds and what not tend to smoke a lot more than the mach series injectors. Not that they don't produce, just not quite as cleanly. That turbo, is a 63.5x72.5, which means getting the wheels turning will take it a little longer because you have more mass to get spinning. Running a dirty injector will be more evident with it and you will have more smoke off idle and when building boost. Fortunately, the Cam will really help with spool of that turbo though.

Thanks for the info, & another good thing that will help with the smoke is it is a pretty fast spooling turbo, I can get 40+ psi of boost between 1500 & 1700 rpm

That is a pretty quick spooling set up. That would be the ball bearings at work. I honestly haven't spent that much time around ball bearing turbos, so I'm not as familiar with their behavioral characteristics. I'd imagine that once it gets spinning it lights really fast, given that larger wheel. Just takes a little more off the bottom to get it spinning. Which A/R housing do you have on it?
