umm... probably not before the dyno.. but def. before the next time i go to the track. Im going with a fuddle and its $450 shipped for the 3500 stall i want to build.
not a bad price for that stall. you know im just messing with you. they keep upping the hp on the new trucks you almost have to put a blower on a 99-00 just to get to where they are stock.

If you have the ability to change any tuning on your truck I recomend you change the trans settings just for the dyno. Lower the speed that it will allow 3rd at wide open and lower the tcc settings also to lock the converter at the speeds you plan to run it at. I also recomend removing the rev limiter on the truck or you'll only be able to run a 2nd gear dyno pull.

If you're using HP Tuners I can send you an example of the trans settings I'd use for a dyno run.

I'm praying for 255/280 at the wheels.

that'd be really cool, thanks. Send it to ITLStallionfbhs@yahoo.com

i'll have my tuner look at it.. idk if i'll be able to do it.. he lives an hour for me.. i doubt he'll come up to bullshit unless hes really bored.. but we'll see

Your truck should make that. Post the results...I really want to see what a stock 5.3 can do with electric fans.

If he gets a clean 3rd gear pull and can keep the temps down he should make that easily.

I hit the speed limiter on mine at 120mph. I felt like a goon. Going to a lower gear provides shitty results especially if you have a turbo.
