All went very well yesterday, the truck now starts, idles, and runs great. The truck would not make 10psi on the dyno like it does on the street, it still made great numbers with stock 20s and an unlocked converter with about 8.5psi. It made 502rwhp and 510rwtq. The truck is a blast to drive and pulls very well for being so heavy. I should have some track times in the next week or two with easy launches.

The 372 has a much larger turbine wheel then the MPT70. This makes it a much better choice for anything over 280ci.

I thought the truck ran great, it was smooth as silk through the whole RPM range. I have never seen the KB kit in person before this either. I thought the kit looked great and would not hesitate to run one!

The truck has a stock converter in it right now. I think the boost comes on well, it has some lag but that is what i wanted since i tow. It starts to pull hard around 3k. I think i have 600 miles or so on it and love it.
