    Also unless they(PP) have changed something, their high lift cam just changes the exhaust valve profile, hence the reason you have to run the matching piston to keep the valves from smacking the pistons.

    I am running +2 injectors, I can't remember the exact number, but they are factory cummins part #'s.

    I messed around and purchased another Pete with a 400 cummins. An '89 Extended hood with a studio type sleeper, 15 speed and air ride.

    In the process of stretching the frame on my 1985 to put a 28 foot rollback bed on it and start a towing company.

    Finishing up law school in April, bought 2 sprint cars and need to generate money to support my hot rod habit.

    Sounds normal, I had one several years back. mine would cloud the parking lot in winter. Guys would walk by and say something is wrong with your truck. I would just tell them it was an old cummins. The timing is everything. Monitor your oil and if no usuage I wouldn't worry.
