Seems my pressure monitor setup needs some updating. Hope to have it on the truck later in the week.
FWIW, two people have committed to trying this new bowl design in their builds. One will have valve reliefs and low comp and the other will not have valve reliefs.
I've been driving the max effort tune around for a while now. When the turbo lights, she is scary. So far, so good.

Your the official Fingers spokesposter now??
Well aware of the tester. Wasn't sure if this was what he was talking about. Could have been drive pressure too you know.
I've always tried to call it a Chamber Pressure Monitor. (CPM) But I slip up sometimes.
FWIW, I hooked up a Dual Needle boost/drive pressure gauge last week for the Dyno session. Very cool.

It is a hewitt and is available through Kennedy Diesel. It is not on the online store pages last I looked. You will have to call.
Just received a box of blanks to carve for someone else. These will be without valve reliefs. 17:1 compression ratio.
I have to say I do love the look of them. Cant wait for the others to do some testing too.
Maybe when some day I do a build I may get some.

So can the blanks be ordered without the rod pins drilled so the pins can be moved up for stroker use....:thumb:
Or get uncut stroker pistons and cut in the bowls.
I don't think there is enough real estate to move the pin hole north enough on a cast piston. I haven't really looked though. I currently don't have access to the equipment to finish the hole as well as they are from the factory.

For all intents, my truck runs just like any other stock motor running stock compression with a bigger turbo and 100 over injectors. I am hopeful that others will chime in eventually with their experiences. I am, after all, biased.
