  1. is it possible to convert a 14 bolt 8 lug hd rear axel to a six lug and use on a non hd truck?? Just wondering if its a possibility since a six lug 14 bolt with disc brakes is a rare find?

    you would need custom axles or redrill yours

     

     

    as for the 9.5" sf 14 bolt with disk brakes. all you need is the brakes from a 99-04 10 bolt. I did the disk brake swap on my 14 bolt back in early 07, i orignally used the brakes i had on the 10 bolt that came stock on the truck. Now im using SSBC 14" rotors and SSS dual piston calibers

  2. I was told by some SS guys that the 4.10's will load the turbo fine in an AWD setup. In 2WD 3.73 or 3.42 work better.

     

    CHPSpecial Has 4:10's in his AWD SS and he runs a turbo set up.

     

    How soon on the AWD conversion???

     

    I have a few set's of 3.73's for the 14 bolt if you still decide to go that route.

    ill keep that in mind about the 373s, if i did that id have to find a front diff with 373s to use.

     

    The Awd conversion will take sometime. Trying to find a donor SSS to use the front diff and the nvg149 out of. I then gotta find a 4wd frame, do some work to the frame to adapt the gmt900 front strut setup, doing fuel cell, relocated rear shocks, slid back crossmember then off to the powder coater. So probably wont be for least few months. Not mention ill have to redo my twin setup since the driveshafts will interfer with my downpipes along with the strut mounts will interfer with the waste gate merges

  3. hate to do this but i gotta bring this up. wasnt it you that said to me how long will mine last. What caused your motor to need totally rebuilt and spit a gasket when you have thick deck heads, 6 bolt heads with 1/2 main studs?

     

    your a good asset to the truck world but sometimes krama is a bitch. i beat the balls off my truck for past 1k miles and make huge power for cheap parts on low boost. You and zippy both had your words to speak....i seen how yours is hurt and is in need of a full rebuild were mine is stil ltogether getting beat when driven.

     

    seriously thou how does 6 bolt heads that have the 1/2" upgrade done push a gasket out when i run TTY bolts and never push a drop of coolant

  4. the orignal plan was to hit up a TNT at a 1/4 mile track but since all the rain weve gotten lately they were closed today. Since i was already loaded up i figured id hit up a backwoods 1/8 mile to learn how to launch this truck.

     

    i tried everything from 3800 2 step launch to a 2k 2 step launch to slipping clutch off idle. went from 18psi to 14 psi in the tires all the same results. once the turbos hit all i did was spin, didnt matter what gear, didnt matter what power level. i took truck down to mid 500 range and still had issues. ive came to realize that its pointless to go racing on the strip till i get real tires/wheels.

     

    heres my first pass you can hear my girl, she wasnt to thrilled about seeing this

    there was literally 1/8 mile of rubber laid down, needless to say there goes 600 bucks down the drain lol

  5. Do you have a diagram on how you wired them?

    i did the following

     

    i used the stock wiring to trigger my 40 amp relay i have mounted by the tank.

    i have a single 10 gauge industrial wire going from battery to relay with a 30amp fuse

    since each 255 draws 12 amps max now times 2 you have plenty of amp even for inrush current.

    when wiring this way, if a pump fails it blows the fuse. once the pump opens up then you replace the fuse and limp home on 1 pump

     

    ppl say with dual pumps you have no idea when you lose a pump, well how i have mine i do know. ive done this way on a few builds and all have same results

     

    sorry i dont have a diagram or anythng as i just got at it as i need to

     

    this way you can still pull the factory fuel relay when troubleshooting the setup or priming the motor

  6. How well does it drive on the street and idle with those injectors?

     

    Very nice #'s!

    with the settings the FIC gave me to use they actually sucked for idle and driving. i played with the offsets and etc and now it drives like anything else

     

    they are high impedence injectors as well

  7. Is it bad to wire both pumps to be on all the time? Where do you get a hobbs switch from ? And yeah ryan pm me a link of what you found.

    for past 3 yrs ive had both my pumps running together at same time. ppl are so concerned about fuel being heated up with dual pumps running together. something to think about youll have a regulator to control that pressure. another thing to think about is when you go race pump that flows more then 2 walboros whats any different then that? ive had no issues

  8. i hit up the rollers once again. after the intake swap and larger injector swap i was in need of a retune. Since the street isnt the best place to tune WOT with this setup so i choose to use the dyno. I again hit up a mustang dyno.

     

    im still on 11psi with E85 and VP M1 meth

     

    mods since the last time are fast 102 intake, fast 102 Tb and FIC 118lb injectors, leaned out some, few more hundred rpms and alittle more timing

     

    hows 816 rwhp and 745 rwtq sound?

     

    truck was dyno'd with cut outs open and air filters off

    i then dyno'd it to see how much restriction the dual 3" exhaust with magnaflows are and my air filters. its a loss of 25 rwhp

     

    mods total are following

     

    2005 LS2

    arp rod bolts [80 dollar ones]

    TTY head bolts

    LS2 head gaskets

    230/236 595/601 115+2 cam

    WCCH 317s

    fast 102/102

    1 7/8 turbo headers

    T62-1s with .68 ar exhaust side

     

    this isthru a T56 and 9.5" 14 bolt with 410s with 315/35/20 nitto drag radials on silverado SS wheels

     

    AFRs this time around 11.3 using gas scale

    duty cycle with the 118s was 83%

  9. First, congrats George on your latest build :thumbs:

     

    Second, I wanted to ask your perspective on AFR - you are running 10.5:1 AFR I assume that's because of your choice of using E85 instead of E0?? when running ethanol-free gasoline what do you prefer your target AFR to be, 11.8 or 11.5 or ???

     

    Mr. P. :)

    At 11 psi I'd shoot for 11.5-11.6 on gas
