So the solenoid I have with this kit has a .063 orifice kit says good for 75 hp but on stock fuel trucks. We were looking for closer to a 200 shot. Can we swap the orifice in the soenoid or do we need a different one? Or will .063 be plenty with my extra fuel?

You will need to swap it. Get one with a .120 orifice or larger. We ran a .120 solenoid in Levi’s truck with a .105 jet (had to use one to seal the tip to the line) and it was good for 150-175hp with as much extra fuel he had

What you have seems extremely small for a solenoid though

It's the base diesel kit, I'll sloppy mechanic that b$%# with a drill bit of I have to. We will keep our eyes out for another one. I think this kit is meant to run with no jet? It doesn't come with one.

Interesting shifter, Jesse. I bet it really grips your racing gloves?

Why did you guys run the A-pillar bars at that angle instead of up the pillar to the main hoop corner?

Why not make a pass with the small hit and work your way up?if your having problems with traction the hit of a 200hp shot is going to make the truck go crazy. You might get what you need out of the small shot. You can always change the jet at the track.

Well it's a max of 75, so we were wanting a big solenoid that we could jet down and do this.

The corner didn't run out as nice as we liked so it would have been hard to notch for. The plan is to add a small triangle tube to each corner up there, as well as add a dash bar, just to busy to mess with it.
