Progress... Slowly but surely.
Making progress, fixed some exhaust leaks and learned a thing or to.
I decided to run open wastegate to see if the truck picked up. Well turns out boost went down a lot! I used to make 18psi or so first , shift 2nd be up to 19-20, third be 20-21. I didn't mind the creep, I wanted more boost and my controller was maxed out.
With the gate vented it is more efficient dumping instead of gettin backed up in my 3" exhaust system. I got 15psi with a spike or 16-17 on shifts.
So added more spring now and good to go! Maybe next weekend!
15-16psi and a damn near empty bottle 35 shot went 10.80@127
Time to turn it up!
Weighed truck at track, god bless her with passenger seat removed, weighs 4550. Towing crap and tailgate, bottle all adds up!
My buds nasty 454 e85 malibu broke 9s with a new best of 9.79!
