Well went out to hrp finally ran my truck withTurbo and street tune (Wheatley is a great tuner to deal with by the way).
Before turbo:
60' 2.509
330 6.883
1/8 10.374
MPH 70.21
1000 13.398
1/4 15.923
MPH 89.59
After turbo @6psi:
60' 2.429
330 6.379
1/8 9.559
MPH 78.21
1/4 14.515
99.68
The truck pulls really strong but 1/4 time is slower then i expected. Im thinking the 20's and 3.23 are really killing me off the line.

8mph by the 1/8 is not bad,
and 10mph by the 1/4 is showing the truck can run much quicker just get the 60 down.
BTW how much boost did you launch with?
10's for sure he did, 10+more mph. LOL just playing with you. I do tend to get a little excited about customers running good. All in all nice first outing and conrads.

My truck is way faster with highway gears than it was with 4.56's. Ton's of engine torque with steep gears just equals traction problems with 2wd street tire truck. With a turbo engine, you don't need a lot gear to get out of the hole. Higher gears make it easier to build boost on the line as well and couple that with a good purpose built converter and you can rip out of the hole with out shocking the tires too much.

What stalls are yall running with a turbo? Believe me i cant wait to bump it up to 10 psi, but thats gonna have to wait till around xmas time next year when i can get a better trans. Also i dont know how accurate it is but the instant mpg in the truck is telling me im getting around 22-23 mpg on the highway, i didnt get a turbo for mpg but its still nice to know...

I've always heard that turbos like load, so staying with the lower (numerically) gear might actually be better. I'm sure there's a point at which you could have too low of a gear in it, but I don't think the 3.23's are hurting you as much as the converter and rim/tire setup.
