Nice looking truck and install.
Glad you like the kit.
Yes big heavy tires kill horsepower. It takes a good amount of energy to keep them rotating.
Did you ever Dyno NA?
Did you get that check valve in the Pcv line?

--
I added this to the TrickTurbo FB page.

 

No, never dynoed NA. I found a metal check valve at pet boys for 4 bucks seems to be working so far.

 

awesome man. I would highly recommend installing a catch can also.

 

I'll defiantly add a catch can. The install post you did on your truck is what made me decide to go with Trick. Every question I had was already in this forum. Made the whole process easy.

 

Nice lookin truck

I thought I was only the one with numbers that didnt add up, I guess big tires do kill power on a dyno

 

What motor do you have? Assuming a 53?
If DoD you will need a lifter swap prior to adding heavier springs or more boost

 

Thanks man. I appreciate that but I have to give it up to Rick. It's a super solid kit he has and has raised every bar I have for buying "bolt on" parts let alone a complete turbo kit.

 

If you have the 6L80E Trans in your truck, I would turn it to 20# and let it eat...
Those 6L80E Trans can hold 700whp in stock form!

Or you could always lower the truck and go the opposite end of the spectrum....

 

It's a LC9 5.3. What is DOD?

 

Well then you have a few things you need to delete

Stock lifters and valve springs are junk...you will want to DoD delete the truck and get a good cam

You also have VVT

Both are factoring Into your low power numbers

The springs in your motor are so weak you can compress them in your hand....now think what boost is doing to them
