Im running a 2800-3000 stall in mine. It seems pretty good, although I can't brake stall too high or the tires would start spinning before I left the line.


Thunderwagen, Your gonna love the Trick Hot parts!!!!. They go on soooo easy!

WOW, just read this whole thread. I can seriously understand all the issues your going through. Don't let it get you down, things will come together for you. Can't wait to see the dyno numbers on this thing.

So what's your final verdict so far anyways? Compared to the Radix that is. Which do you like better and what are their high's and low's of each system?
She's gotta be a load of fun to be driving around on the streets no? Also I thought the only thing your in need of now is the TC, why are you getting hot parts?

Hey Holty,
I just saw your thread in the other forum, sorry about what happened. Glad to see you've got it all back together!

The truck is a blast on the street with the turbo. The way it pulls in the upper RPM's is crazy. It just keeps going and pushes you back in the seat. And with the turbo I am running I know I am barely scratching the surface of my power potential.

The Radix was also alot of fun. On the street it was hard to keep the tires from blowing away because of all of the low end tq, but dealing with the belt slip was frustrating and I was near the limit of where it could take me power wise.

The turbo has more power than the Radix and really is more fun on the street. The reason for the new hot parts is so I can change the plugs without having to disassemble everything on the passengers side to change the plugs.

Well I have an update. I took the truck over to a buddys shop two days ago and we put it on his dyno. I pulled my wide band O2 and put the one for the dyno in. Mine hasnt been working right since I put it in and neither me or Autometer can figure out why. Anyways the truck layed down around 450 rwhp. The interesting part was the AFR fell off the chart as soon as it went wide open. It was below 10:1 so that is where the rest of my power is. As soon as the new hot parts come in I will head back down to San Antonio to get it dialed in better.

Ouch...don't blow a piston in the process of waiting for your parts!! You should probably get a safe tune in there until you get a better O2 sensor and can get a better tune. But 450rwhp is a good start, you gotta graph to share?

We didnt print one off. I dont think Im in too much danger of blowing a piston with the thing running that rich. It seemed to be fine under part throttle, the afr was around 12.5. It was just under full throttle and boost that it went super rich.
