Here's a drive by at 60mph. Next one is coming back to the shop after a 15 miles test drive.

Ill get some video in the cab and record a longer trip in near future.
Thanks hethead. I'm guessing it's probably around there. The methanol kit at this point is not worth the investment unless you just want it because. Im going to remove it and save it for a future project.
It might be better to have methanol if you don't run an intercooler to help with the...
I took the truck out today for first test drive. Lots of data collected.
1) Truck feels so much lighter. The steering, the ride quality and tire noise dropped dramatically. The brand new tires was a huge bonus. Highly recommend anyone with these trucks to get new tires. Having them...
I have 8-16r20s for sale. In good shape. 7 are mounted on hemtt wheels with beadlocks and comes with hemtt lug nuts to bolt to your 5 ton rockwell axles. Extra spare looks brand new. Selling complete set. Will not break up the set. Pick up only. Will not ship. $2500 cash.
Got all the clamps installed. Just need to finish a bracket to mount the power steering fluid filter to the side of the c channel now that the intercooler piping takes up the original location.
Here's better photos of the n14 intake on the truck.
Just got 6 of the 395s on. A comparison of 16r20s to 395s. Lot easier to move around that's for sure. Hopefully will test on Monday or Tuesday to see performance gains.
I'm running a #27 button built by premco and the injectors to match at 10% overs. Warren from Premco said with my goals that this will keep the engine well within the safe zone. Im running 750 to 800 degrees egt in #6 cylinder. Going to smaller tires and the intercooler will drop temps even...
Nice build hethead! I know the intercooler can't hurt anything, only help. I took a more conservative approach on fuel but the larger injectors will help some, that's on the list soon.
Ordered 7 new 395s. All balanced with beadlocks. Going to be adding to the truck tomorrow. Should make a big difference with power, egts, less weight, and less wear and tear.
Once project is done I'll post some videos of truck running and see what the performance gains are.
Installed the n14 intake with new hardware. Much lighter and easier to manuever, hooked the boost gauge back up. I also decided to hook the air compressor back up to the intake. Instead of pipe thread, Cummins changed it to -14ORB and then I got a 3/4" npt adapter to 1" barbed fitting. Ran a...
I just turboed my m925a1 and I used a bigcam aftercooler and crossover pipe. I saw 300 degree drops in egts and that's with the probe in cylinder 6. That's with no core in the aftercooler as well. I saw 12lbs of boost peak. With 12lbs there's not enough boost to cause big issues with intake...
I haven't called cummins directly. Alot on here say 200 to 210 is max. I haven't driven the truck since the pressure gauge installed yesterday due to the cold and crap on the roads. Im running a #27 fuel button. Pump rebuilt by premco. 10% over injectors arent installed yet. Even with...
The needle valve is a micro valve. It's not like a standard ball valve and lets only a tiny bit through. There could be some changes but it's designed to be very accurate. It also increases efficiency and safety. The valve can suppport 1500psi.
It wont change the pumps pressure, the pump...
I did the fuel pressure gauge install today. Bought a 2 5/8" autometer gauge to match my other gauges. Gauge went to 400 psi. To match my other auotmeter gauges I had to pick 200 or 400. Decided if I do turn the fuel up and I was to get over 200 I wouldn't be able to monitor it with the...
