Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 100104, member: 25"] Nah - I'm definitely not Mr. Know it all - but I am fairly entertained at the bantering between Lott and Chuck at the moment. LOL Charles has a very valid point that he is trying to press - and I for the most part agree with him and that theory of operation. The B-code is less of a change from an A-code than going to a hybrid - making the tuning easier, and making it a fairly easily "balanced" injector out the gate for DD and race duties. I do like them - but I do fully believe that the hybrid has significant advantages. I actually have been gathering flow bench data to do a nice little write up about injection on here - but time has been sparse and the benches have been super busy. The information I intend on posting will give plenty of data and examples as to what each injector is capable of under certain circumstances. For example - I already stated that down low in long PW, low ICP conditions the b-code flows more fuel all things being equal - but in low PW, high ICP conditions the hybrid flows more fuel all things being equal. In order to get the hybrid to flow the same fuel per time at the long PW, low ICP scenario - its just as simple as a bump in ICP. Now to understand where Lott is coming from - the B-codes with say a 100% or a 200% tip are a pretty decent compromise between performance and stock characteristics without rocking the tuning world. The b-code truck in his scenario "runs" away from the hybrid truck is entirely tuning related - the factors that effect this are ICP, PW, and ICP ramp rates - if you are limited mechanically as to how fast you can ramp the ICP - then you might not be able to tune the hybrid to keep up (but on anything with "big" oil this should not be an issue at this level of discussion). Unfortunately I don't have any data that directly correlates at this moment - so I need you to use your imagination on this graph: [URL=http://rides.webshots.com/photo/2039085050088936788ZXcUUF][IMG]http://inlinethumb46.webshots.com/32493/2039085050088936788S600x600Q85.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Picture the b-codes injection volume on that graph to be a bit higher on the low ICP end of things and a bit lower on the high ICP end of things and dead even somewhere in the middle. That is how they compare in reality. [/QUOTE]
