Where is everyone #5

Thanks Men. And good morning to ya both.

 

Awesome Tramm.

 

Yea many want to add pressure to the fuel rail on a Big Cam to build power, and yes it helps but..... it also adds unneeded pressure on the injector Cam lobe causing it to have a shorter life span. Better flowing injectors with high volume / low pressure does a better job and the engine will live. I’m running 220 injectors, stock is 176....

 

Speaking from experience, Jim??

 

Experience? Yes. I’ve yet to lose a cam do to added fuel pressure. Even a stock CPL 625 with factory Cummins CPL 310 injectors will make a world of difference without touching fuel pressure...... little things.

 

Dont recall ever pulling a cam in one of his, could have before my time. But alot is who was driving and how. Dont recall the size but would switch tips from 9 to 11 hole, then cc them to inject exact amount. Had to keep clean filter on them all the time. But always knocked the timing back, then put fuel to it.

 

Hard to see but a nice 362 oddly setting in a field that I ain't never see on my cow path.

 

I know this won't be popular, but I dislike seen black smoke out of a diesel. To me its fuel injected late at or after TDC and burning in manifold and turbo. Like I have told kids with these pickups. "Wanna impress me? Make that power with clean exhaust". I wouldn't leave the garage of mine smoked like some that I see.
