Holy **** you are reving that thing out LOL.

That's my next plan of attack once back at the track is to work on the shifts and launch. I should have no problem breaking 110MPH and I think raising my shift points will help get me there. I think running 3rd and 4th a little higher will help a little.

Yea. I'm running it to 6900. For my launch I hold the gas and slowly increase the throttle to where the rpms stop climbing. On my 1.67 60' my log showed 100% tps and 3600 rpm. About 3 psi. I'm going to get a set of stock size tires to replace my worn out all terrains. Should help the 60' out as well. Lol

Trucks running good, keep us updated as I am curious what the issue is.

Is it just me or did it sound like your RPM flared on your shift in that video, think it was the 2-3 but not sure.

^^ I heard that also and it's reflected in the log. Didn't happen in the first two passes

I believe 13-14 at WOT. On phone, would have to check laptop.

It can take more, I was slowly working it up




edit**
My last tune that I did for my last pass was 16 at WOT.

NO.. NO I do not.


Case and point..










So......... Plans are changing. Like a complete 180.


I love this truck. I love how it looks, drives (when I don't break ****) and all that, but modding a brand new truck that you daily drive year round was dumb from the beginning and to keep throwing more and more money at it just doesn't make sense to me.




So we are taking it back to stock. I have 90% of all my stock parts still to put back in. Will keep the Procharger (I think... might sell it) and anything else I can use on another build and sell the rest. I will get WAY more out of the parts off the truck than leaving them on. So stay tuned, might be some good for sale threads in the next couple months.


Motor is still being torn apart to evaluate the extent of the damage but we will put it back together as cheaply as possible (cost, not quality of labor). Get it running back in stock form and sell it and hopefully make a few $$$$ in the process.


Then the hunt for a track/weekend toy/ barely legal future project will commence. Thinking late 60's to early 70's rcsb pickup and just go crazy with it.



In the mean time it's not the prettiest thing but I will drive this for the summer.....maybe even see a few track days LOL.
