Cool Clutch, Injectors, & Torque plate are back in!
Well over the weekend I've managed to install a South Bend 13" FE clutch, a new set of PDR 370 injectors, and re-install my old #10 plate.

First, I really like this clutch its still kinda choppy though, but I drove Meacham Evins (MEvins) 94 215 Pump'd 2500 this afternoon and his is a lot smoother than mine so I'm guessing I just need to get a few more miles on it. Still completely satisfied!

Second, after finishing up with the clutch Friday night member Wade Patton helped me install my new PDR 370 injectors that I got on sale last month! About these injectors..... MAN! these things are SO MUCH better than the Marine 300's I had! Immediately after install Friday night I took the truck for a drive and it seemed almost effortless to get to 3K RPMS in 2nd & 3rd gears. These injectors also cruise at a lower EGT than my 300's, and they smoke less than my 300's (dunno whether to be or about that ) Bottom line I LOVE these injectors they are absolutely awsome!

Lastly I threw my old #10 plate back in this morning before heading over to meet up with Wade. I installed it a little less than centered because I figured EGT's would be kinda toasty. Well went for a ride right after I got the plate in, and I couldn't crack 1200* pre-turbo!! So drove over to meet Wade, hang out & BS, ended up sliding my #10 full forward while BS'n too! On the initial drive I couldn't really get the EGT's into the "Danger Zone until about the mid/top of 4th gear. Coming home it was odvious that I can run the plate full forward without much worrying unless I have to hook to a heavy trailer here soon which I doubt will happen. I do however plan on sending my turbo off to be hybrided here real soon!

So there's my weekend full of BOMBing what about yours? LoL
