Default Overfuel question

I just turned my stanadyne injector pump up about two flats. Does anyone know if their are any serious repercussions to this? Besides wasted money on fuel of course.

If you dont have a pyrometer, it's very easy to turn your block into a paperweight. The N/A motors generate heat very quickly with extra fuel. Get a probe in your manifold and dont let it go any higher than 1200* or your pistons begin to melt.

Yep I agree wit Syscostang. One flat is good enough for the non turbos 2 flats I think is just too much wasted fuel. GET A PYRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. 1 flat should be fine. Not as much smoke though.

Wen I rele roll on mine it leaves a nice cloud. I've been told with the hypermax air intake u can turn the pump up a little more since it's getting more air.
