I've seen some big MACK injectors, you could almost look through a hole on one side clear through out the other side. 5 holes I think, something like .040" each hole.
How in the world do those nozzles hold together?

Should these bigger nozzles like the 400s be going to a 6 hole or less to keep the nozzle intact? I have a set of John Link Nozzes on my race truck that are probably the only ones that will ever hold together, but they are like a unicorn since John is dead.

Were the nozzles John used start out as a stock factory nozzle? And what size are they? The nozzles most everyone uses now are a bit different material than the factory nozzle. This may possibly be where this problem lies.

I would think if someone could come up with a nozzle that would hold up, they could make some money off of it. There are plenty of people running 200% for the sheer fact of being scared of 400s.

I personally would put 400s in almost everything if it wasnt a worry of cracking.

There has got to be a material out there, obviously money is the issue, but has anyone look into the actual cost increase?
