    It’s a 99 12.7, might try the pee, though.Trans fluid is said to clean injectors. It’s basically pure oil derivative, that is it’s taken off the top of the oil, when refined by catalyst cracker. Diesel, gasoline, it’s whats left in the end.

    It may not be, but in the case of 72 below, it was used as a lubricant, which the newer fuel lacks, and it is still a lubricant. I am not sure if it still cleans like the older stuff or not.

    I'm gonna just offer my little advise. Leave the 15.1 pistons in it. Then have someone not from detroit program it to get the timing back down. Add fuel at this time if you want. As HP and boost increase is why you see lower compression ratios on high hp builds. Dont use normal aspirated gas ideas hear. Lower compression. Add fuel. Makes boost. That makes hp and runs cooler. They advance the crap out of the engine for the low nox program. It's not the parts. It's the program.

    Weather we can say it or not, that's how they lower nox. Not by advancing timing
