I would think that you are making more power too. What kind of cai are you using? At MTI they did have a fan in the front of the truck and the temp was about 78-79* at the time.

Here are my mods,

Borla exhaust, KN FPIK, ASP underdrive pullies, corvette servo, and at the time Superchips tune. There were no fans and it was about 80 when i dynoed it. I suspect maybe another 7 or 8 horse power could be hidden.

Man I wish I lived close to a place like MTI, there is a place that offers custom Diablo Sport tuning, but by the time you add 400 for the programmer and 90 dollars an hour to tune it I can get HP tuners or a Nelson tune.

Oh yeah I got a 214/220 .600/.532 114.5 sittin in my buddies garage with pushrods, oil pump, 918 springs, and a JWIS timing chain. I am also getting the dynatech supermaxx system around Christmas.

Now leochevy I want your personal opinion, I want to get a stall and thought I would get a 3000 yank or TCI, because I figured the trans is going to be rebuilt after the cam install. Now I was want to go with a turbo system, but my buddy that owns the garage were my cam is at is telling me to just get some NOS. Its alot cheaper and he said that a 150 would be easy to run through it. Now one of his friend operates a shop in ST Charles MO, and tunes truck for a living and he really knows how to tune nitrous. So I asked him if it was properly tuned for my truck would it hurt it, he said absolutly not but I can run it constantly which I would not. I also want 3.90 gears and a eaton posi. I want a low 12 run out of my truck.

For the stall, I think the 3000 would be good, still very streetable. A lot of people say go with yank but I have been hearing some bad things about their customer service. I was actually thinking about going with TCI 3000 for my truck. You can also choose from these other companies, Hughes and PI. You might also want to get a Transgo shift kit. Of course you know that you are going to need some custom tuning to remove TM and for the cam. I can't really comment on the turbo and nitrous since I don't know much about them. Maybe some else will chime in and give you some good suggestions.

I think the price of the Yank converters are insane, but they seem to be top notch. The TCI is half the price, and the built trans was going to included a transgo, red alto, bands etc. and servos. I will probley get a nelson tune with 100 percent of TM removed. The thing is should I keep the 3.42 gears with the 3000 stall or go with some 3.90's and a eaton?

i think they recomend removing tqm 100% when you install a transgo shift kit.

I would say go ahead and get rid of the 3.42s and go with the 3.90s and eaton. The gears, locker and stall will help you cut better 60' times in the 1/4mi.
