I am convinced if you have bigger injectors you need bigger connector tubes to get the most out of your injectors. Did a boosted launch @ 10 psi and had to be light on the throttle to keep the wheels from spinning right off the truck, locked up the converter and hammered it breaking the tires loose at each gear held steady @ 54 psi When I hit 3400 rpm I backed out of the throttle and I felt the truck settle back down from all the torque it had on it. It was a pretty crazy run. The smoke was not bad but more than stock tubes and fuel psi held @ 13 WOT. The only down side I have found is when decelerating between 50 and 40 with very light throttle it gets very jerky I unlocked my torque converter (I have a full manual valve body) and it went away.
No offense but even though you may be convinced, numerous dyno's say other wise. But hopefully your dyno runs will prove me wrong.

I have been told the exact same thing, and I tried it and I believe. All I am going to say is... Come pull/race your daily driver against mine!! :T:

Can't quite lump the monster pump in with SO or HRVP's since it's a different breed of pump. I've also had a few injector companies tell me that the tubes and lines were a waste of money. Like I said, I hope your next dyno proves me wrong but I'm not gonna be spending my money on these.

If my pump wasn't screwed I'd be happy to race ya. That, and if you didn't live 1000 miles away. :lol3:

:lol3: Shall I go on the rant about my dyno numbers and how in the last year I've gone from 496hp to 375hp and I've replaced everything on the motor including the pump only to find out that I got a dud pump to begin with? :lol3: I promise you, I wish it was an excuse. Give me till next week. :D

Just go down to the parts store and get the A/C orings they are just as good or better. Just take one in and tell them you need an oring like that

Don't know if that's a compliment or insult but either way, I don't know a lot about these trucks, just been around long enough to see what works and what doesn't. I'm sure there are certain cases that the bigger tubes work but for 99.9% of trucks they don't and usually just give a lopey idle.

I'm using one of Mike's stage 2 monster pumps with very big injectors supplied by Coaltrain Diesel and i run stock tubes and Lines. I was on the Dyno on Saturday when I broke the intake plenum gasket and still made 438hp with VERY little boost (using a 66/74/14). I will be back on the rollers thursday if everything works out right and post up my #'s against my friends #'s who also runs a stage 2 monster and he is using Haisley's tubes and .093 lines. Given the fact there is SEVERAL other factors that can affect the differences in our numbers(if any)

................. I guess everyone needs to donate 25$ imediatly so i can get some bigger lines and tubes to dyno on Friday to compaire the numbers within 24 hrs. send me a pm for a mailing address.:w:

sound good?
