Driving impressions: HEEEEELLLL YEEEEAAAAA!!!!

I am taking it real easy to break the gears in, heat cycle bla bla bla, but the leave from a dead stop is like 40% better if not 50% even though it's only about a 20% gear reduction...it needed it. With the 20's and 4.10's now it's geared like an SS Silv or a TBSS...big advantage! Truck runs great; now to break in and go back to the good guys at TRTTurbo! Times coming soon.

 

Some one told me that the newer chevy's where going with the cambus system that the BMW's use. I think it is there style of ecm/pcm. I guess not.

 

I saw you at Kennedale last week and was going to try to race you...till I saw the 9.5 out of it.
When are you going back?
We could have a turbo vs nitrous race.

 

Yea it was somewhat disappointing...maiden voyage, but I had to get a base time. The guy in the TBSS asked me to line up with him so he didn't have to run a car with open headers...real nice guy and girlfriend. I am breaking in the new 4.10's, then taking it back to trtturbo to finish up, likely in a few days. I am guessing if everything goes right, I'll go back on the weekend of the 17th. I would love to meet you and sure I'll race...win or lose. What are you running?

 

I'm excited now. My STS 67 should be going in Friday and Saturday
: drive:

 

Congrats, mines really alot of fun to drive now. I think you'll love it.

 

OK, if I get enough miles on the truck this week I want to try and go back to Kennedale (Texas Raceway) maybe on Friday. I'm curious to see how much improvement the gears made, even though the converter is still too tight to leave very hard. I am dropping the truck off at trtturbo probably Monday for the new converter, more boost and dyno numbers. Any opinions on how much boost w/o meth?

 

18psi
28* of timing.
5k neutral slam.
Oh yea, 87 octane.

 

Hey Billy, you really want me to have that 408 sooner that I thought!

 

W/out meth I would say no more than 8 psi since there is no safety. That said though, chpspecial is boosting his engine to 12 without any meth and his engine is doing strong. I wouldn't suggest much past that though.
