fpr shim...
Has anyone ever tested the fpr shim on a dyno? I've had it in mine for a while now, probably about a year or so. I've been playin with my programmer and stuff tryin to get better mileage, took it from stage III to stage I. Could definitely tell a difference. Then last night, I took out the fpr shim. It felt like it had more power with out it! I'm just curious if anyone has any proof of it actually helping.

Every truck is diferent some trucks need the extra presure and some do better with out it. The only way to tell is to put a fuel presure guage on it and strap it down and make adjustment till its happy. If you have a stong pump the BB may be to much.

Well, I'm gonna run it without the bb for now. I'm also going to put it back on stage III. I didn't mention before, that when I put the bb and the programmer on, I hadn't cut the cat out yet. Don't know if that makes a difference or not. I still want to get a 3" downpipe and cut out my muffler.

I've got the stock downpipe off of an '02 7.3, it looks like a 3", couldn't I use it? Might be some unique welding involved, but I think it oughta work, what you think?

Might be alot of fab work to get it to fit, tight area on an obs and the sd has all the room in the world to come down. If i am not mistaken the fpr shim is more to improve idle quality and a little quicker throttle response. On a truck that has fuel pressure that is correct or near correct the fpr shim wont do anything and may damage injector O rings

Glad I took it off then...
I was looking at the old SD downpipe the other day and it looks like it just comes straight down from the turbo, I was thinking it might be a little long before the bend at the bottom of the truck, maybe I'll play with it one day and see if it'll work.

The obs DP comes off the turbo and down along the trans at an angle and doesnt clear by very much ANYWHERE lol. I doubt the SD one will work at all
