Any update on this yet? Curious to see if the higher stall wakes up your vehicle like most say it will.
Thanks

thanks, for the replies. I ordered a 3200 stall this week and should have it installed in the next few weeks. My tuner says they've got the software update they need to tune my truck correctly now. Guess I'll have to wait and see. If I don't like it I'll get blackbear to tune it, because he is with in driving distance from me. I think a spot on tune will really wake my truck up.
cmb570, I have already installed and paid for the the p1, so I am going to try and make it work for me the best I can.
I'm getting ready to drop some more cash on the truck as soon as I can sell some of my other toys. Then the rig is getting long tubes, high flow cats (would go catless but need to pass inspection), electric cutout before the cats, cam and heads, wheels and tires. I should be able to do this all at once when I unload my PA equipment. I think the truck will make some pretty good power after these additions.
Anyone on the restrictor?

Got the verter in and plan on installing first of next week and getting my tune fixed. I'll let yall know how it turns out. I still need to post up some pics of the truck, dyno sheet and the install, maybe I'll get around to that by next week too.

also why the 42 lb injectors......I've seen alot of people run out of injector with them. I have 60's with room to spare. Hell my boosted vette has 60's on it with meth and makes a hell of alot more than the truck with no issues.

w/ his setup, I believe 42/44#'ers will be plenty...
now...having said that...w/ old set-up similar to his current one, these were plenty w/ minimal meth...I mean a very small atomizing jet...really small...
w/ new set-up...they're all around 100+ %...w/ ALOT more meth...

I know of guys building 500hp engines running 42#'ers. I'll upgrade when necessary but I am not close to that point yet.
I've done some research on running a restrictor plate or a waste gate and boost controller. From what I understand that is called overdriving the blower. When you do this it causes a lot of heat and has to be addressed with either a larger intercooler or meth. Since my intercooler is horizontally mounted and I am not ready to add meth I am opting against it for now. I think my next step is I am just going to go with a smaller pulley period and run meth to try and get little more out of the truck.

Well @#$% ! My tranny busted yesterday. Only lasted 2,000 miles with the procharger. Now I think it starts off in 2nd and doesn't want to up shift and won't ever go into fourth. Looks like I am going to the dealership and see if they will replace it under warranty, which they probably won't. More than likely I'll be putting a new transmission in a truck that only has 14,000 miles.
