Hey Chilly, how large are the injectors your buddy is running? The truck that had bad haze at stoplights?

LBZ nozzles are all sac style. Sac can haze a little more at idle than a vco in some engines.

Seems to be the norm. Rarely will someone suggest something smaller, gotta have that "room to grow". I can't remember the last time someone recommended a 30-45% nozzle.

500hp trucks should have 60% injectors in my opinion. 100’s don’t leave much room to grow.

Well I just ordered some oval pistons last night. I think I'll deal with a little haze vs. rebuilding my engine again... Went with 16.5CR with twin turbos. Hope it isn't to much but would like to keep the haze to a minimum.

You'll be fine on compression ratio. 16.5:1 is a good ratio for a daily driver year round, especially in cold weather.

I found a CR calculator in an old thread. Can anyone confirm that the piston chamber volume on a set of oval pistons is 42.00cc?

Thanks
