boy i love information, as first stated im a gas mechanic, this is my first deisel, i didnt know the inj pump is adj, i have a factory manual for the 466 and it does not go into tunning, ill do some research on the inj pump. thank s for advice ill get my egt hooked up and do some testing with the CAC and without its simple to un hook the cooler and go back stock.
it should also be simple to test for pressure drop of the cooler i dont think it is restricing my flow but ill check the cooler is 36in by 24in 2in thick with 30 or so flow tubes built by radiator specialtys in calif when i cut the tanks off for modification to fit the buss i was amazed how large the flow tubes were. i believe it was built for a big marathon provost bus as there factory is neerby and i got it from an auction handeling some of there stuff .
thank you both for the info
by the way what does HPOP stand for just curious
