Old Smokey Fuel pin

OK, I got a chance to try Old Smokey's (Mike) new fuel pin. I was very impressed. And now that he took it back (darn it) the changes were dramatic.

1. Didn't dyno it but the butt-cheek-O-meter says it had more power.

2. Much improved throttle responce. Even small changes.

3. Better fuel milage.

4. Smoother running overall

5. Smoother transition from low power settings to medium to full while driving.

6. Refer to my post on "emissions and DD3+ injectors", the pin was in for this.

I for one cannot wait for this new pin to be available. I think he is on to something here and after running one for a while I don't see any areas for improvement. The design is right.

P.S. I saw the dyno results from putting this pin into a completely stock truck( stock? there should be a law about that-where's pastor BOBs stick?). I will let them make the post on that, but, what I saw was amazing.
