My truck with new cdi injectors feels much quicker in power when its cold or just reached 190 degrees.
Why is this? After driving it for a while it feels not as powerful as when i just hopped in and took off.
Will retiming it help? My ip has 70-80k miles on it and i just installed new injectors and the truck goes through the rpms much better but man i want the acceleration it puts out when cold all the time.
My truck is 7.3 n/a 5 speed fyi. 2wd
It was set to stock recommended timing with the old injectors with one of Gary's kentmore's but not adjusted since new injectors were added.

Your timing is too retarded now with the new injectors. New injectors have a higher pop pressure than your warm units so they are firing later. Advance the pump a hair and you’ll likely regain the lost power

Yeah 90% of the time i wont pull put of my driveway until the high idle kicks off.
So i need to turn the pump a c hair to the right or left to advance it a little bit?

Towards the passenger side. Looking at the motor sanding in front of the truck turn it to the left.
