450/400's

Seem to be a pretty nice injector so far. I think I am on my fourth tune revision but things are looking great so far! Most my time was spent getting the idle stable and smooth, its not quite perfect yet, but damn close. Only real complaint I have with them is the haze at idle when the engine is cold. Some of this could be attributed to the lowered compression or the cam profile, but its really not too bad. With a little more time I believe I can clean it up.

Here's a couple shaky video's.

Not sure what happened to the sound in this one.

It still needs to get cleaned up a bit under load, but I'm not too far off.

Looking good what are you running for a turbo just out of curiosity??
Im assuming your own tuning and what injector builder?

907DAVE · Jun 13, 2012

Twin's and the injectors are from Swamp's.

Is that all? I have more haze at a cold idle with my 160/30's!!! Your videos look just fine to me!

Looks, great Dave! I'm already thinking about bigger injectors and a new turbo setup so I can comfortably see 650 on fuel only lol amd seeing videos like this don't help any lol

The truck already had some temperature built up when I took that video, its more noticeable around 40*.

Do it. Big injectors are nothing to be scared of!

I know, I know. But there are 4 months of dry roads to enjoy them on.

Oh I know! I really need to just stop building for what I can afford at the time and take my time and put exactly what I want together with the money I spent on the stage 1s and now the 250/200s I could be well on my way to big injectors lol once I nail down a nice single turbo setup and get that ball rolling I'm gonna work on some big injectors next time... Anyway sorry for the derail back to ow awesome running your truck is lol

This is my 3rd set of hybrids. Dont worry, I feel your pain.

Seriously though, you have a VERY strong running truck. Have you had a chance to use it yet, or is it still in progress?

Dmstrucks02 · Jun 14, 2012

Nice, that looked pretty clean to me

Thanks that means alot comming from you, because i have always admired the work you have put into your trucks and how well they run! I am Still waiting on bill to get the trans in, which should be this week and then he can do the final tuning.... After that all I have left to do is throw the gears in then it's just little stuff here and there until I can get the cash for some big injectors and a turbo setup that will be better suited for what I wanna do with the truck

Marty · Jun 14, 2012

Very clean. It'd be nice to run our trucks side by side to compare acceleration vs smoke. fwiw, dave is working on new 400 nozzle tunes.

Big Bore · Jun 14, 2012

Nice vids Dave, thanks for sharing. I can't believe how smooth and clean those injectors run. Thumbs up to Swamps, and to your tuning.

As for the haze at idle, maybe you should put the AIH back in LOL

And maybe I've missed it, but I haven't seen pics anywhere of that truck or the engine running in the bay, is this a secret project? LOL

Thank you sir! Just wait until you get your truck back before doubting your choices, you might be surprised.

I would be curious how it compares to a single, but have no doubt it can be cleaned up just fine.

No secrets here, I am more than willing to share everything.

Here's a cold start video, not too bad as it was around 50* this AM.
