Mind you,they will not spin with 7lbs.I'm thinking it was probly 650hp/650+tq.
I might dyno it next week at 15lbs to just see what it can do. Can't really afford a tranny right now since I'm picking up my 00 Z28 from the chassis shop next week(25.5 cage,tubbed ect).If it goes it will have to be replaced but I'll try to take it easy.

The turbo-generals report says that too much boost will damage a stock transmission.
Roasting 20's thats just cool. Well unless you where racing someone. lol
Keep it together tell next week.
I do not think we have had anyone push the INTRO kit to that level of boost yet.
R&D truck will but that is a little away still.

Sounds sweet! Im too chicken **** to push mine that far right now, maybe once i have the meth on and see how its running i'll take a stab at it. How much timing are you running with 15 psi???

Damn Don you are killing me and you dont know it.
I am shortly putting a 6.0 in my reg cab and have been thinking about getting with Trick and trying a system out. If it makes your heavy pig of a truck run that good, it should do wonders for mine.

It's so nice to see how collectively we get braver on this forum... There was a time when people swore 7 psi would throw rods! Soon, this may be a thread about 20psi!

It's all about tuning for longivity.
As for the 15lbs.I tested the kit,pulled the line off the waste gate and it would spike to 18lbs but pretty much level out at 16lbs. I had 15 degree's timing for this and some meth spraying. This is a small turbo but is making good power so far.

No way I'm going to be the first to try that... I'm not quite ready for that 370 just yet. Although if I'm not mistaken, Parrish ran 20psi on a stock 5.3 for a while- could be wrong...
