w&bknockefuel pin and fuel plate
Gary talked about the #11 fuel plate on another thread. I'd like to hear if anyone has any opinions about "generic" equivalent parts like are BD plates ($200)better than the $89 ones on e-bay. Also some sites suggest rotating the fuel pin 90'. Both sound interesting but I really do not want to destroy my AT542.
Thanks

RustyIIRC, when I met Vince when he had the coach, it had already been bumped up in power.

w&bknockeVince gave me a document from the first owner who had Cummins put in the larger 210 hp injectors. I think it also has an improved exhaust. Rusty would it be worth $200 to put it on a dyno to find out where I am now?

RustyIMHO, no. I have 230 HP and 2K lbs. less weight, and there are still grades that my Breakaway mounts leisurely. Knowing the actual HP at the wheels won't provide info for further upgrades, as the tranny and diffy limits would come into play. It might be a fun number to know, but without a practical use.
As bill h once said, "Diesels do not accelerate; they gather momentum."
