  1. for sure on the tuning...have about 10 hours into it so far. I have a friend at LG Motorsports doing most of my tuning, so when he has time is when we tune, i have never done 3bar Meth is on the 2 stage controller but with only 8psi im just using the 1st stage and not much at all, just the small 250 nozzle. I don't want to rely on meth as a fuel compensation but as a means to cool down the IAT's and allow me to run a little more timing and thats it
  2. well threw it on the dyno...still working the tune but at 8psi with the afr still at 10.0 and 9* of timing it made 470....tried pulling 9psi and it made 510 but started running out of fuel at 4900rpm...so looks like it's time to put another walbro in there....gonna do a little breaking in on the 8psi for right now and get some times this next weekend...keeping it safe also over the next week...will post track numbers next saturday!
  3. These are a very nice piece...was very surprised by the quality...you guys def need to get in on this!!!
  4. really you need to read up on how nitrous works some more....the makers wouldnt put that specific warning on there just for chits and grins....now with that said, most chips put your timing at 30+ degrees which is way to much even just on motor....a chip is a waste of time and money....pull the chip out and throw it away go get a tune and read up some more on nitrous and keep from blowing your motor up....
  5. Little Pick update.....its all done only thing left is for my meth cell to get here...cough cough Jon
  6. my old roommate who was an auto painter painted his blower with no probs....looked great and has held up for a year with a lot of beating on it
  7. and thats what nitrous is for but seriously though....i made sure i would have no problem getting into boost fast with the build and making sure i could put a good load on the turbo or else i would stay with a lower gear Here is the intake pipe freshly painted...thanks to Will for giving me the pipe and to Louis for making all the adjustments it needed for me to put it on there
  8. Still got the 10 bolt for now...will go to a 9" when it blows but i got all the good stuff in it right now The short block is a new block, the guy i bought it from had the motor built for his FRC vette he was going to do a TT on but then hey decided to go with a 6 bolt head and a 434 LSX so he cut me a hell of a deal on the motor. The Vic Jr is staying on the motor for good, i like how well the carb style nitrous plate works and i also like the looks of the intake....we will see how the numbers come out. i want the 3.23 gear to load the crap out of the turbo, that and i went with a th400 so i have one less gear...the 4.10's cruise 70mph at about 3400rpm and that means i would cruise in boost...dont sound cheap...i will still drive my truck to events and on the weekends. I run a 31.5" tire for the everyday street and a 28 MT for the track. I just ordered my 2 stage snow meth kit and it will be here tomorrow...fuel cell is being built also and sometime next month i will be going to a twin walbro setup and putting the fuel cell in
  9. i ran one of his tranny's for a while...had no problems...was a great trans and Danny and his dad are both great people, i highly recommend buying a trans from him
  10. I had AWD and it owned on the street and was great at the track never having to change tires....but im 2wd now, im a realist and 2wd = less drivetrain to spin and break
  11. i only got the log manifold but i like it....nice thick, looks very strong and also came with the v-band for the crossover.....cant beat his price either and turn around was only 2 days to have it made and shipped out to me
  12. i have a dual 3" exhaust system sitting on my garage floor....it was easy to do, tons of room under there
  13. i got a fuel cell being built for it now, going to run a nice magnafuel inline pump with a -10an feedline and a -8an return, already have the fuel rails and going to run the nitrous off the FPR I did go to 2wd, truck before all of this weighed in at 5,425lbs and now weighs 4,880lbs and thats full weight both times. I got the DS made locally at Drivetrain of Mesquite, it's .095 thick walled steel with solid u joints and the upgraded carrier bearing
  14. well as some of you guys know i muffed the twin turbo idea for now and went with a single do to my finances not being able to afford the twins and me being to impatient and not wanting to wait another 6 months to a year till i could afford it so here are the specs of the setup Turbonetics T76 Journal Bearing Turbo KB Racing Log manifold 3 1/2" Down Pipe fabbed by Greg 2 1/2" Crossover fabbed by Greg Tial 44mm Wastegate with 12lb spring All cold piping was bought on ebay and will be finished this week just waiting on t bolt clamps and couplers Nitrous Outlet Perimeter Spray Carb plate will stay on and be pilled at a 150 Motor: LS2 370 8.8 CR Diamond coated pistons Callies Rods Stock polished crank LS6 cam Stage 2.5 PnP 317 heads Trans: TH400 w/ T-brake Art Carr tight 3200 converter all the badass crap in it...not a trans person so i do know what all is in it Fuel system: Walbro 255lph intank pump 60lb injectors that's it for now will upgrade soon as i can afford to Drivetrain: Custom built 2 piece DS 3.23's True Trac Moser axles
  15. you dont need to track down a AWD dyno, you will be fine making some dyno runs with the front driveshaft pulled, i have done it many times for numerous pulls and never had a single problem as well as many others on the board
  16. Got mine yesterday as well....better quality then i expected and already at the paint shop, my painter is a little under the weather but said i might have it and the bumper cover back tomorrow...doubtful im thinking mid next week but its no biggie im putting the turbo on the truck so its not going anywhere for a week or 2
  17. you have any pics of this install by any chance?
  18. got my tracking number also...will be painted and on the truck this weekend!!
  19. sending my money now also, has anyone gotten theirs yet?
  20. also very nice to meet yall....we were in the show for bout an hour then headed home.....long day lol
  21. i would like to also be in on this...when will this offer be closed?
  22. i dont believe you cause i had some badass tuning also with a 2 stage plate coming out on a 125 shot hitting a 2nd stage almost instantly with another 75 for a 200 total and weight out so where i weighed 5,045lbs and still only went 11.88 hooking cutting a 1.60 60' i also had headers, e-fans, tru trac, moser axles, and didnt have PnP heads yet or the tbss intake, on all that the truck made 519rwhp... it just doesnt add up unless your truck weighed about 4,600lbs tops
