When it shifted into 3rd gear at 85 it lost traction again for 2-3 seconds and finally hooked back up at around 95 mph. I know what the dyno numbers were but I'm headed to a roller dyno on thrusday...
All that's left is some fine tuning but more on that later...waiting for STS to return my calls.
Verrrrry Nice, about time man! Im glad everything is going good with the truck. You deserve it!

Thanks brotha! I've had my ups and downs and "Iwannaburnthisbitchtotheground" days that's for sure. I've got a few more things to figure out and hoping to get some insight from the turbo brains on here... YOU (see next post)

So, here's the list of things I gotta work on this summer...

1) Most important is to Fix my Meth since it's not working and with the amount of boost I'm running it's only a matter of time before...
2) Re-size my A/R housing to fit the new combo.
Right now I'm running a .68 on a 6L spinning 6300 rpm's. Needless to say the A/R is choking me down on the top end, I'm thinking along the lines of a 0.96 or even a 1.08 but not sure what would work best being it's a remote mount. Waiting to hear back from STS...anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to increase lag too much since it's boosting late anyways.

3) Rethink Cam choice once A/R swap is done and new numbers show up to see if the one that's in there is the right one or I need a smaller one.
4) Disconnect crankcase to Intake and set up a breather.
5) Run engine oil through a cooler. (I'm seeing in excess of 250F ) How many people are running Oil coolers?
6) Wrap cold pipes in engine bay to prevent heat soak.
