I bring timing up from peak torque to redline 4 degrees. It would point to too small of an exhaust side if boost was falling off, but its not. And again, if this 85lb/min turbo could only make 300hp...well, you fill in the rest.

Too small of down pipes you say?!? Hmm... Hahaha


That is a strange graph as even more strange that they're almost identical. Is there another dump you could go to to get a "second opinion"?

Wasn't my suggestion... And I had to chop up your dump tubes to fix the hot pipes anyway. I will make new downpipes eventually, but not because I think they are a flow restriction. Everywhere I drive I hear the rattle from the driver side DP hitting the hydrobooster. So that will be changing.

It would be cool if you tapped your exhaust for pressure readouts.
I agree with sprayed, you should get a second opinion! As a matter of fact there's a bunch of dyno's out here you could use!!
And then you could finish tuning my truck for meth in the process now that I figured out what was wrong with it!

Can't say I'm not tempted! Maybe if you ask nicely I'll set up camp in Santa Clarita for a few days this winter lol. I have been driving the **** out of my truck recently so I feel that its reliable enough for the drive now. It has gained my trust again

Hows yours running btw?

If you come up Dyno sessions are on me and we can hit up a couple different ones to compare between the types of dyno's!!

Actually Jarrett and I were talking today about driving down to AZ to hang out with you tools for a day or so. I'm officially off vacation on November 24th so after that I really can't say or promise that I'll be around much.


As far as my truck, it was down for about a month because of building and swapping in the 14-bolt, there were a few complications but it's in now. I picked it up from 1Fastbrick's place last week and really haven't been driving it. I think I have a few more heat cycles to do before I can start beating on it again.
There's a grinding issue I have to work out with the rear brakes but other than that my list of things to fix is getting smaller.

-Swap meth 2bar map sensor
-Fix faulty e-fan wiring
-Wrap hot parts with the wrap that a member on here sent to me.
-Swap converter to one that locks
-Tune for meth and 20psi on race gas and see what kinda dyno queen I have on my hands!
(if Jarrett can run 146mph in the quarter with this motor I hope it'll get close to 4 digits in the power department. I might need to adopt his fuel blending techniques though.)
