so i finally got around to installing the pyro into the LJ78 i have been taking on the River Shiver pre-run runs and it is a good thing i did.
the LJ78 that has the stock exhaust was running a bit on the hot side hitting 1100F fairly easy when accelerating. the run last week i crunched the exhaust on the test run LJ78 and thought nothing of it but once the pyro was installed the damage was easily read in teh pyro. the temps run steady at 1000F on the highway even when not accelerating and when climbing the hills in the bush it read 1200F very quickly.
On tures the muffler arrives that i like to use so the new 2 1/2" exhaust will be installed on this truck and i will report back any change that i find with the higher flowing exhaust on the pyro...
i really feel that the high EGTs is the downfall of the 2LT and 2LTE heads...
cheers
