Hey guys I am currently running a .040 jet in my home made nitrous setup. NOS tech guy said it should be a 75HP increase. I want to increase the jet size but I am worried about the head gasket. Should I be? Any one know ruffly the limit? By the way mod's are as follows

89 Cummins
ford powerstroke intercooler with 3" in & out
K&N open air
PDR Fuel pin
3200 gsk
POD's
partially ground AFC foot
hx40-16
4" Mandrell bent straght piped split into duels with 5" tips
starwheel bottomed
pump tweaked
Timed @1.5*
332hp with out the nitrous and a wastgate problem now fixed.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Until all the black smoke is gone. 75hp, wrong it is not a gas motor, diesel are different. with a .040 jet you are around 40-45hp if that. I ran a 36 and a 65jets on a two stage system it made about 90hp. Right now I'm running 68 and 75 jets. I think its making close to 100-135hp, But in gas motors thats like 400hp.

Thanks for the reply. I was starting to think that nobody sprays the CTD. How hard do you think it is on a head gasket? Also when do you spray it? What RPM, boost levels? How is it activated? Right know I have mine setup to come on at WOT and it seems to work well, should I change that when I start using bigger jets? Sorry for all the questions I am a newbe to nitrous on a diesel I really appreciate the help.
