Thanks! Yeah, the new intake, better heads and internals really made a big improvement. The tune with the NNBS trucks got more conservative tho.

I don't understand what "it" is that limited you to 4000 rpm in third gear.

they told me to put it into 3rd gear, then go WOT from 3k rpm to 5k rpm and once it got to 4,000RPM the engine cut out (over rode the pedal since it is drive by wire) and it wouldn't let me accelerate it. I don't know what the speed was, it might have been around 90mph so it might have been the governor kicking in

I don't know why stock tune won't sink into my head. Yeah, it was probably your speed limiter, you probably reached 95 or 98 mph.

the first pull I used 3rd gear and that is when the speed governor kicked in not letting me go past 4k rpm

2nd and 3rd pull I did 2nd gear and yeah, idk if it was because it was students running the dyno or what.. they wouldn't let me go past 5k rpm

I really wanted to get some basic numbers on the dyno as I'm doing 60 # injectors, kbracing96's MPT70 turbo kit and other things next week lol

who is going to be doing your tuning?
I wouldn't worry about the numbers, you are running long tubes untuned.

well I bought the truck a month ago w/ the CAI and LTs on it, so the previous owner is the one that didn't really go about doing it right lol

Nelson will be doing the tune for the turbo
