now we just need to see how I like it. I hope to have this installed and tuned by Sunday......I have heard that the GT67 does have a bit of lag....we will see. The front mount should go real nice behind the Gibbs bumper

almost 6 years to be exact......I remember the phone conversation on a Saturday morning about your truck and the engine coolant.

I remember that too. And the pulley you sent me and didnt charge my for untill we knew it was going to work. Thanks man for helping me out when I was getting started.

And fwiw, the 67 on my 4.8 had lag, but it wasnt that bad so I think you should be ok.

we shall see.....with the GT2-3 this thing should pull like a freight train compaired to the Radix.

what I'm curious about is not so much the amount of lag from a dead stop or when you initially press the gas pedal down, but the amount of lag there is when you get on it, get off it, then get on it again...........

normally turbos work better with a reverse split why would you think the huge split on the gt2-3 will work better?

we shall see, I am curious about that too. With the set up the way it is, I was told by STS that it will be VERY likeable and driveable.

Not doubting just wanting to learn, just always read reverse split for turbos. The proof will be in the pudding, good luck, I feel another 65e roast coming on, might have to dig up that pic.
