I have a N/A .. no pyro turned up 1.5 flats .... from stock.... but i think ur exhaust is still too small unless ur running true dual exhaust..... i have 2.5's running into a 4"w/dynomax muffler.... and a 14 X 6" K&N filter... runs like a bat out of he@#..... i recently installed a pyro..... running 970 average..... if u over fuel too much you will cause the temps to drop and you're fuel milage will suffer..... a little bit isnt gonna hurt anything.... just resist the tempation to crank it up ...just for fun.......... i did that ..LOL.... really hard on engine and fuel eco.... went from nearly 20 to 14mpg.....LMAO....really rolled coal but ran real ruff..... just go about 1/2 flat and try that ... if its better than try a lil more you will find the sweet spot.... a pyro will let u know if your too lean==hot.. or too rich==cold

This should be the same as a mechanical 6.5 right? Seeing that the 7.3 IDI and 6.9 IDI used a DB2.

I believe the only difference between the DB2 on a Ford and the one on a GM is the Ford pump spins opposite of the engine and the GM spins with the engine.

I don't have an electronic pump. I have the mechanical DB2. 92 and 93 6.5's were mechanical. 94+ were electronic DS4's.
