Lower,
Your truck is very cool and love the burn out video.
I plan to do a burn out video when I'm done and on the road. I also dont expect my rear tires to last long either!

They lasted longer than I thought they would, I guess because there is 4 it divides the weight?

Well my tire guy hooked me up with a killer deal on a way better tire for the really cheap tire price. The valley pan was a success no oil leak. Time for the dyno tomorrow morn.

Thanks Diesel

Today went great! Got better numbers than I expected for my base tune.
152hp 314tq This is a local speed shop that has been doing this for quite a while. I asked him what flywheel power would be he said, because I have a huge auto trans and axle I'm losing about 100 off each. So that makes it 252hp 414tq SWEET. Also has a very nice curve. So over the winter I can figure out how much more I will be happy with and how I'm going to get it, but still keep it reliable. I'm thinking boost up to 12psi from 8 and a bit more fuel.

Thanks

My original hope when I was building the truck was around 200hp and 400tq at the wheels so I'm not far off.

Keep it near there before you're searching for another engine to build. :lol:

Oh yes I know. I'm not turning it up as much as I originally was planning. Right now I'm thinking up to 10 psi and add water alcohol injection for when I want a bit more?. I'll be doing research over the winter.

Well it official we are driving my truck pulling my gray camping trailer to Charlotte North Carolina for the Goodguys car show. We will be leaving 3 weeks today. Then after the show we are taking a few days to see the sites on the way home. Should be about 700mi down and 1200-1300mi home. Maybe I'll see one of you guys there?
