Did some test runs today. She's running great. Have some minor kinks I'm working out but so far so good.

Is that a straight pipe? almost sounds like it doesn't have a muffler.

Thanks for the kudos guys. Not a straight pipe, Aero muffler. I little less bark than straight.

Drove her today for 30 minutes. Ran absolutely perfect. Pulls hard. 500 hp and 1670lbs of torque are amazing. Ambient temps 72°F and Coach stayed right around 162° the whole time. A little cool for my taste but Leid diesel wasn't concerned. These larger injectors and the 500hp tune are simply amazing. Couldn't be happier. Putting engine doors and bumper back on today and buttoning everything back up. Will drain water and replace with Detroit Powercool today too. Almost there.

Yet another example of the joys of doing it expertly and with proper parts.  Incredible timing too as your work schedule has some slack due to the lockdowns. Congrats.

What injectors are you running? Or is it electronic? Good Luck, TomC
