That's rolling out hard, also looks like it stalled up to about 3600 ish.

What was your previous best 0-60?

Also.... damn it's quiet inside the truck, cool to be that quiet and that fast.


As far as the driveshaft thing, it's probably gonna be just fine, apparently the 2wd trucks got the **** shafts. Sam at AMP said from what he's seen the 4wd trucks don't have the drive shaft vibration issues etc that the 2wd trucks do. Plus the 4wd truck is sending/sharing a lot of the load with the front drive line.


Tahakum motorsports has a K2 or 2 in the mid 9's ( I think I saw at some point the got low 9's ) with stock driveline.. I know one of the trucks is 4wd, the other probably is as well.

But we all know the 2wd driveshafts blow up a little over 100 mph. Mine starts vibrating bad at 107

Yeah it is ballooning to 3800-4000 rpm... pretty much peak torque at the launch. Previous best 0 to 60 was 5.21 on e85 when it was 21 degrees out and 5.49 0 to 60 around 60 degree weather. Best 93 was 5.9 0 to 60 without the converter. That pass it was 70 degrees out and DA was 1500 last night when we checked it.

When the windows are up it is quiet for sure. When the windows are down and the boost kicks in good god the truck get loud lol.

Glad to know the drive shaft will be ok

It's not always about load or 2WD/4WD, it's more about driveshaft speed. You may not feel the vibration but that doesn't mean the drive shaft isn't flexing a lot above 100mph. It's just something to keep in the back of your mind.

I have the 2 core intercooler and the iat driving around is 2-3 degrees above ambient. That pull I recorded the IAT was at 72 at the start and hit 117 at the end. It went back down to 75 really fast though which I was impressed with.

I think that's one advantage of a PC is the lower iats and quick recovery. Its great that you've documented everything!

Yeah very nice to have a tuner who is a buddy and shares all the good data while tuning. Also on another note my boost gauge is showing from 5600-6200rpm 10-11psi of boost

I completely understand and agree, it's about driveshaft (critical) speed.

However the 4wd trucks aren't having the driveshafts blow up like the 2wd trucks are from what I've seen and heard from people doing big power and speed with these trucks.

But I don't understand the RIP driveshaft post in relation to the new blower if it's about DS speed and not power.

That thing gets up pretty good.

I believe the reason the 4wd driveshafts seem to “hold up” more than 2wd driveshafts is because the 4wd driveshaft is shorter since there is a T-case bolted the the trans. Shorter shafts have a higher critical speed, longer shafts have a lower critical speed.
