    If the injectors are not set properly that will also cause performance issues. Cats are real fussy when it comes to the top end, everything needs to be right.

    Yeah Oscar,it's time for a top end adjustment soon,while I'm at it,I'm going to order a set of 6 injectors,off of Midwest diesel,they seem to have the best price on rebuilt injectors!
