My Excursion made the Magazine!!!

Hello,

my name is Ben. I have been on these forums for a while now. I figured I would share my current project with you guys here. Here is the magazine it was featured in. Can't wait to get enough funds to get the injector and turbo combo I want to put on it.

Here it is:

Thanks guys.

I used to read that magazine.
Then gave up on them for their lack of "correct" details.

"Even while acknowledging the factory injectors and turbo were now the biggest limitations when it came to making more power, the truck averaged 25 mpg on the highway"

Thanks for bashing on the mag. The truck does get 25mpg on the highway as I can go from VA to Detroit and back on one tank of diesel. Its all about driving style. The injectors are at their limit through theoretical cc calculation. The turbo is at its max allowable reliable boost 32lb. And b.t.w. the stealth pump is an awesome piece not just a rebuilt stock pump! This pump holds 4000psi with no problem. It has been on the truck for three years now drag racing, sled pulling, towing heavy equipment,... No leaks, no pressure drop nothing.

And....we just lost credibility.

nice truck but i call shenanigans on the 25mpg

If your "truck" gets 25 mpg as you and magazine claim, then your math must have gotten worse. Because your sig on PSN says 28
