I decided to man up and try the rocker install again tonight, wasn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. I started about 9:30 and had everything buttoned back up by 12:45. Turn the key, and VROOM
Just a recap of the new adds this weekend:
3.0 Nelson pulley for Radix (pushes 9 psi now)
Nelson tune
Vinci Ultra-Torque cam (210/218-551/551-116)
Vinci/Crane 1.8 roller rockers
Dual springs
Titanium retainers
7.25" chrome moly pushrods
Went for a test drive. Holy f***. That's all I have to say. I tried one stalled start in 4hi....the stock converter stalls around 2100 now. I couldn't keep the truck from moving. When I popped my foot off the brake I could feel the back end squat firmly and something hopped....not sure if it was the front or rear tires, but I felt like I lost traction for a split second in 4wd. I can't wait to get this thing to the track, then to the dyno.
I feel like I have a whole new truck.

Special thanks to Vinci for first convincing me that I needed the rockers, then for supplying a quality product. I spent more than I wanted to at the time, but it all seems worth it now.
Now all I gotta do is some logging so I can get my Nelson tune dialed in, then take it on down to the 1320 and see what she'll do!

Congrats, yeah the first time that I went to adjust them on my truck it was a real son of a bitch, they definitely take a little time to get them right. Now lets see some new numbers.
