Congrats! Sounds great!!!!

 

WOO HOO!! I just want to give you a big congratulations from NC for a job well done!! Not only does it look great, it sounds great to boot! Now that this is almost wrapped up, I'm gonna have to find something else to read on here..

 

OMG, you remember the red 1500HD? I Really loved that truck

Thank you!
LOL, thank you, there's still a little more to read, stay tuned

 

Grippy, you have a PM

 

Give me a call when you want to meet up again. She runs like a Scalded Dog!!

 

More progress!

The truck has a Solid break-in tune loaded. Thanks Joe!
Details: We started with the basics and got it idling nicely in gear and out, really a pretty smooth cam for a 224/238 on a 116, once you give it just a little rpm you can't even tell it's there. Exhaust note is as I remember it, having a nice "tuned" sound to it, nothing obnoxious; progressed to light throttle, then regular driving type stuff, no boost. Went up a hill(my street) saw 1lb of boost under a steady load, then we went down a back road, got her up to 2-3lbs of boost, no problems, no belt issues; next goal was 5-6lbs of boost, didn't make it, went right on by 5-6 and saw 9lbs of boost at about 1/3 throttle (Rex, that ought to be good for the rings!, woot woot!)
After the converter got everything it needed, tranny fluid was down about a quart in a half. Everything else checked out A-ok.
So how did it feel with 9lbs? Fast! lol, maybe because I haven't had boost in so long......................the truck was starting to move pretty rapidly though.
the blower (MP122HH) is VERY quiet at this boost level, I could hardly hear the thing at 9lbs of boost, I was surprised on that one, expected it to be louder, kind of a new characteristic! LOL.
Some data points: No KR what-so-ever, running about 17deg of timing, 104 deg IAT's @ 9lbs of boost, and LPE's MAF tables seem to be spot on
Trans felts great, the converter softened the shifts up a bit(good thing), but it is nice and tight shifting.
The converter does feel a little looser off idle vs the stock converter and I was expecting that so no surprises there.
Like I said, so far so good. Now it's time to go have some fun or was that cut the grass???? hmmm................

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

 

Creep up to 9 lbs, everyone else would like that at full throttle haha. Killer set up hope all turns out good. Excuse me if i missed it in your 200 page novel, but what is the expected output of this things, hp and or 1\4 mile.

 

I'm so jealous!!!

 

It must feel tremendous to be back in boost again! 9lbs at 35% TPS Woot Woot!

 

thanks bro I am hoping to hit 550-575rwhp and a low12/high11 second quarter mile.
