When you spend that much on injectors you alo need to validate your purchase.

Some might not me. You notice how long those FIC injectors lasted on my truck. I had no problems selling them at a huge loss.

I'm a believer in ID. I could care less if the same injector is re branded and sold cheaper............

More parts came in today. I ordered a new set of plug wires so i can shorten them. The previous set i had were the Taylor 409 Races series. Come to find out they carry a 330 Ohm per foot resistance. The new set are Taylor ThunderVolt 50 10.4mm Spark Plug Wires they carry a 40 Ohm per foot resistance. I have no clue on the differences but whatever. The thing i like about these wires is they accept the factory metal spark plug heat shields.

I had to shorten them about 1.5-2.0 inches to make them fit the way i wanted. Below is the before and after.

Looks a lot better. All these little changes are going to make for a clean looking truck.

Working on the turbo side plug wires. Tons of heat protection. Maybe a bit overkill but oh well.

Standard wire

New end crimped into the wire. Also i added a little heat shrink to the wire to help get it through the new boot

New boot installed along with some DEI heat shrink to help secure the new boot. Since these are 10mm wires it is really hard to get it into the boot. Some WD40 helps but sometimes the outer cover wrinkles a little bit.

Looks really good. I also did a plug wire test where ohm and fitment were measured.

Thanks man. Let me go take another measurement of the wire since it is shortened to see if it changed.
