I used to lock mine at 105 mph with the old iron 5.7 d1sc combo. It was a 3 disk pi vigilante that was worked over by chris at circle d. Was using a level 4 4l80e from flt and never had any issues.

If you're pushing the turbo beyond what it's good for you're just pushing hot air anyway. Why not back down the boost a tad. Keep it at 15 even in Colder temps.

My boost controller is at 0. This is just spring pressure in the WG. But I only have 2 springs for the gate. This heavy spring, and a lighter spring that gives 8 psi.

Nice! I know you have been working for that slip for quite a while. I look forward to seeing the times in better air.

This thread is old folks.

See most recent time slip in sig. I firmly believe I was headed for a high 9 sec pass before my driveshaft/center u joint exploded.

I know what it's going to take to put thing at the next level....big turbo, fab 9, relocated DA shocks. I can make it happen, I just don't know if I want to go that far.

can you pic me for relocated shocks. I may need do mine too.
