Made 668rwhp on 12psi
So my tuner called me at 3pm and told me that they had the truck up on the rollers and they were currently making 668rwhp / 637rwtq at 12lb of boost, no meth on 91 octane and the dyno room temp was 105 degree. They asked if I wanted to keep going and turn up the boost some more and start tuning with meth and I told them no, it was not necessary.
Reason being is that I'm actually really pleased with those numbers for right now, and I'm at the point where traction is an issue and not power. I also really need my truck the next few days.
So once the weather cools down a bit more, I'll figure I'll put her back up on the dyno, add a few more pounds of boost, add in the methanol and see what the truck will do in cooler weather. My guess is low 8xx's.
Here's the dyno sheet:
580+ ft/lbs from 3750 - 6000 rpm's is fun!!
Also...when I first brought them the truck they threw it up on the dyno just to see what's what and it was determined that on 5 cylinders at 7.5psi the truck was making 321rwhp!! That's what I was competing with at the Truckin Competition!
So anyways, trucks' back home and I unloaded my bike out of the back and took the truck out for a test spin finally and it is a whole lot of fun! I've only done a few pulls in first and second gear but once she hooks she pulls really hard!
If I get a chance I'll see if I can't get some vids next week.

Right now is not a good time in my life to dig back into the truck but when I do get around to it, I've thought about buying Pat (EvilGMC's) rear end or having Joseph(1Fastbrick) build me one. Also Matt (Dezert1500) is really good with suspension dialing so I'll have him set up the truck how he likes it. And if that's not enough, the rear quarter panels are already flared so I'd like to see how much tire I can fit back there without major issues. I'd hate to tub this truck because it's my only car and I use it all the time to haul stuff. I have a ladder bar on it right now which I'm not sure if it's helping.
