Ok, the truck is back!!!!!!
New valve springs and hardened pushrods.
New tune for Low Boost (5psi).
More timing for Low Boost.
New tune for High Boost (now 9-10psi instead of 7psi).
More timing for High Boost (up 3 or 4 more degrees).
5800-5900 shift point instead of 5500 on stock valve springs.
Xtreme recalibrated the A/F meter and was able to tune it much better. Plus adding more timing and more rpm, oh yeah, and more BOOST has really brought this pig to life!
I will of course have new Dyno #'s here soon. And 1/4 mile track times hopefully this Friday.

They said the shop STS Truck is running 13.7's and mine feels faster. But the shop truck has a Stall so I'm sure it would take me out of the hole. Hopefully we'll find out Friday what I can run with the stock 1600 stall.

Ive heard several say that the accumulator piston goes first usually and is a cheap quick fix. If it were me I would get it looked at and if stuff isnt wrecked yet I would do the metal accumulator piston, shift kit and servo's. That is unless you are planning on 550+ at the rear wheels. Ive talked to Chuck at FLP and he is confident that his 4L65 will handle the amount of power I plan on putting down (around 550), but Im also using a centrifugal charger that doesnt make power until higher in the power band.
