Hey guys I figured us OBS guys could have a little chat thread where we can just talk about modding the trucks and anything else with our trucks, what numbers we are making, any questions, etc. and just kind of BS

and so Nick will stop derailing my thread. LOL just kiddin man

So lets chat!

Matt, I see in your sig it says 300hp. Didnt the dyno say 299? you just wanted to see the 3 number huh? lol 300 does sounds alot higher then 299.

 

[Matt P]

hahahaha yeah it said 298.49 lol I rounded up a little but hey that was on my street tune I know she has a lot more in here just didnt want to blow anything up. lol but now that the intercooler is on I can dyno on extreme and really see what shes got

 

[GM Duraturd]

hahahaha yeah, I figure we should just have a thread now so we can talk about anything with OBSs and stuff and who is gonna get to what mod on the truck first. LOL

Near future:

Intercooler (if I can find a good used one)

Distant future:
Built Tranny (hopefully it can be distant future:doh
drop in turbo

the difference is that the stage 2s have an upgraded nozzle

I have never done gauges but I hear it isnt to bad.

 

[95dieselsmoke]

I understand the nozzle is bigger, but if they both flow the same, how is one more powerful than the other?

 

[95dieselsmoke]

gauges are super easy:thumb:

 

[TxPSD9673]

looks like ill have to pick that issue up!!! anyways like i said after that the injectors will be going in and then right after will be the clutch! now my question is guys, SHOULD I GO WITH A SOUTHBEND OR A VALAIR???????? im on the wall on this one

 

[Matt P]

yeah they arent bad at all only took me three hours for mine

Did a little looking around and found this on beans site


Bean's Diesel Performance custom Stage 2 injectors flow the same 160 cc's but utilize a custom enlarged nozzle. These injectors are more performance oriented than the stage 1 injectors. You can still haul with your truck but custom programming is required to keep the egt's and fuel down when towing. The larger nozzle will allow the fuel to inject sooner and with less pulse width or timing. This will give better HP and throttle response. Expect a good amount of smoke when the engine is lugged and the chip is in a high position. These injectors are capable of 400hp at the wheels (that is and increase of 190hp over a stock truck with a chip) with the right supporting mods.
