I have been happy with my 40 overs from George with Rob's tuning:thumb: It really does not smoke anymore then it did before the Injector (Tip) swap. In hind sight I wish I went a little bigger, but for a true DD I dont think you can go wrong with 40% tips....

FWIW department. IMO A daily driven, grocery gettin' go fast that will run 11.7 is exactly what Rob has with his very small LBZ twins by MPI. I think he has 40 over injectors, also by Big Dipper. Beauty is it allows so much more virisitality in tuning. You can use shorter pulse width and have great power, low egt's and it flat out hauls on the street. I have 130 over Big Dipper injectors in White Out....not so easy to clean up the smoke on those babies.:D

yea white out is my kind of grocery getter:thumb:

No real tricks, just a little time consuming getting everything out of the way to get to the injectors. (2-3hrs) After you get the injectors out lock them in a vice but be carefull were you clamp down, you dont want to damage the shaft or collar that goes into the heads also be carefull not to damage the plastic connectors. Use a deep well socket and breaker bar or TRQ wrench to loosen the end cap but do not remove yet. Take the injector over to a clean bench area with maybe a small towel or similar to work over and dissasemble. Its really pretty simple but there is a small puck inside that is easy to loose or misplace "Hence" working above a clean area;) I would suggest using a paint marker and numbering the injector bodies so you can re-install them in the same cylinders, its not mandatory and I did not but in hind sight it takes an extra couple minutes and is one less thing to worry about...

DO NOT LOSE THE LITTLE SHIM!!!! lol is is smaller than the head of a pin and they magically get up and walk away whenever they are sitting on benches.... then laugh at you when you try to start the truck.

I also have 30% from BigDipper and they work great for my dd. I thought
of just sending him the tips but I ended up sending him the complete injector and saving myself any lost parts lol.

Why not just send him the entire set of injectors? That way you know they will be put together correct. Takes all the guess work out of it.
