just get a good converter and lock it up on the big end.

 

I'm doubting it will be that much. Just trying to figure a starting point.

 

That would not be considered a starting point.

 

I called PTC they are claiming 5-6% slip on the converter I have. There ya go guys.

 

tough crowd...


but yes I always target 5% by 6000 RPM gaining more efficiency with RPM.

 

Did some ricer calculators, I'm going to try to put it in the 9's with stock bottom end 4.8l basically depends how light I can get the truck to. I'm hoping to get it down to 4-4200 with me in it, which may or may not happen. But that's my goal, guess we will see. Gonna be a lot of work I want to try to attend Rocky Mountain drag week, but that's in July and dunno if I can make it all happen.
My boost controller from leash showed up with a pulse so I can bump in. I really wanted to run an ms3 pro but they didn't have support with drive by wire, and 80e with aut doing a microsqirt modules and running can. I'm just going to wait till that happens maybe a year or so. I just don't want too many modules to control certain things. May not bother some guys but I just see it as failure areas.

 

Did some more cutting and took the old shitty c notches out, and removed the old shock crossmember parts. I'm going to box and brace the frame in where the 4link ties back in. Add a crossmember or two back in it's pretty flimsy at the moment.

 

I started welding the bars up for the 4 link, this is my first time working with Chromoly. This is a comp engineering magnum 4 link kit, a magnum diagonal bar, also got a drive shaft hoop that will be used for the front mounting point for the 4 link, then upper and lower coil over mounts.

 

Doesn't look bad. I'd add a rosette weld to those rod ends next time. Too late for that now.

 

I still can, just want to see where we are here and figure out where everything is gonna sit. I still intend to box the frame in some. And the front mounts will be mounted to the frame.
