5ek block strength

Get ready to buy a set of injectors as well, the spay patterns are not backwards compatible, while you can use the acert injectors on the old pistons the old injectors don't work well the the new style pistons.

Most look to the acert rotating assembly because it will be more reliable at higher power levels because of the steel pistons, when IPD gets their butts in gear in the states they have a steel replacement for the standard E/C15 piston.

 

i was going to do new injectors to match as well.

 

I think if I am understanding SmokinCAT is the spray pattern doesn't match the bowl cut In the 7172 pistons. But it is minimal. Those Ipd steel pistons I have been waiting on for over two years. There I'd only one way to get them but it takes a third party to do it. Plus you loose the extra stroke and strength of the acert assembly.

 

The US release happened quietly a little while back, the part number now exist as something to order in the states, but I am sure the wait time will be immense.

 

What kind of fuel average were you seeing with 800+ horsepower set up? How was the clutch handeling all that power?

 

I'm at about that hp and my truck has never seen the mpg that is getting now, I'm at 8 even on a dump truck one way empty, clutch is been holding just fine, i don't ever go in construction site, on pavement all the time flat ground 100% of the time, I'm in South Florida.

 

Looking forward to this

 

Just don't rush it!
