well the 90mm TB and new stall will certainly turn your #'s around!

 

At least he was cool. I found that there are two kinds of people that buy the hemi's.

1. the guys that think its a 426 from 1968 and think it will blow by GT500's if they want to.
2. the guys who like Dodge trucks and want a decent performance truck to drive.

Sounds like this guy was a #2. Thats good.

 

yup, I'm thinking it will make a HUGE difference in my times. I mean the HP is there but I cant get it to the ground efficiently. Espeically considering I was about 300+lbs heavier than when I usually race.

Linda, I totally agree! There were a bunch of truck guys out last night in diesels, Hemis and even a Lightning and Harley truck! The Harley truck was dialed in at 13.8 which was cool for loaded crew cab. Whne you gonna get some vids of your truck? I dont have any big block trucks in my vid collection

 

That mph is high for your time, the 1/8 looks in line. I bet your making good hp higher in the range, if you could leave the line at 2800 I bet you could drop .4 et off the 1/4.
Also part of that could be the NA cam if your still using it, its probably bleeding off boost at low rpms hence the 1/8th time and the high mph in the 1/4

 

I should have one by this weekend, its of my older 14.4 run but it will do. Just gotta wait till my brother pulls it off his CAM and Emails it to me.

 

Nice, I am glad to hear about your truck running again. I only copied your old setup with a different trans, cam, and less weight. You da man! My hat is off to ya.

 

Thanks guys

After really going over the siuation I am kinda happy with my results if my truck weighs as much as I think it does right now (5500lbs vs 5250lbs). I tend to forget I have the 4L80E now too.

I ordered the NW 90mm TB and a new PI converter that will hopefull stall at 3000rpm at 500rwhp which is what I should have after the mods. If not I can always take off the 3.70 pulley for 1 step smaller.

The cam could also be a tad off so if I dont reach the #s I will see about swapping it out but the cam grinder said it should be fine since its on a 116 LSA and very low overlap.

Turbo8, I dont see it as copying. You did enough stuff different to make it your own and even copying doesnt guarantee results so you deserve your own props.

 

are you really running a 3.7 pulley?

 

Yup

Check out the pulley, the friggin thing looks like a crank pulley!

Here is the boost graph.

 

looking good F8L , still slower than me though

the truck sounds proper now, fantastic!
