I know what you mean. I hate going in but hey, I have done it after exhausting resources on a problem that I couldn't figure out and, in less than ten minutes, "yup, we found the problem". Done deal and your on your way. Now, on the other hand are those times (such as a ground fault) where they come back and go "hey, we can't find squat" and your out 2 bills. That sucks but, at least everything is checking out ok. That way, your not still stuck on checking all those items.

Injectors: are you sure those are the correct flow rate for that size engine? Reason I ask is, I use Bosch 24s in my 5.2! They are not OEM rated as OEM is 22s but, I ran 24s and adjusted for it in the tune. They are geared towards a larger 5.9 but, for a stroker, are you 100% positive those are the right flow rate? Not saying they are not but, merely curious - that's all.

I talked to some tuners including Dave Casper who is argubly the best out there at tuning and writing tunes. He said I need at least 24's. They will work bigger would be better but they will work.

We dropped the truck off at Auto analyst here in town. Known for diagnosing any electrical problem for 1 hr charge most of the time. sometimes two. Will find out tomorow!

Yeah, I knew those 24s were under the flow rate for that size engine. Just barely making the cut. I ran those for a while in my 318 so, that's why I stated those seemed under the flow rate requirements for your HP / displacement. I would go by your HP rating and your fuel pressure and see if it's around 26 pounders. I will bet it's up around that rating.

well they were able to get my truck to cut out so they are working on it now. And krc told me to index my distributor gear one tooth. Against all common engine building practice. First thing they said to me when they called "seems like your timing is off because of your dist gear-are you sure its correct" mothe f ers well when they fix the electrical problem I will put the gear back and re do the plug wires and re sync my fuel.

Well the shop was not able to get the truck to act up. They took out the remote start and said that it needed to come out. It was cobbeld up and had some bad wires. Could have been causing the problems but cant say for sure it was. Drove it all the way home and nothing happened. Soo well see.

That's exactly what I said remember? I thought that was jacked and a poor workaround vs. getting it right. Bungholes. Who the hell is KRC anyway? Kentucky Retard Company?
