Sounds like your converter is locking in 2nd gear.

 

This. Get this solved Randy. Tell Zippy to pay attention...

Other than that it looks strong as hell!!! It's going to run awesome when you finally get it to the track!

What made you go with the FTI cam over what was spec'd for you by EPS? I'm curious what the specs are.

Also it looks slightly lean in that video. Do you attach your wideband to HPT? What was your max KPA?

 

Yeah it is slightly lean, but that was just the start up tune he gave me, don't have her dialed in just yet. When it stops raining, that's the next step before the track this Fri nite...we'll get all the necessary adjustments made.

The eps was too big and I didn't want to rev the motor over 7k. This FTI cam was spec'd for the TFS 235'S which I don't have installed yet.

Sorry, what's KPA?

 

Made it to the track last Friday, but it was so packed, I only managed two runs. Here are my results with a 3/3" pulley on 11psi.



Here's a vid of my slowest run where I raced a modded Mustang that popped a pretty sweet wheelie off the line!




I'm sure she's got plenty more potential with an upgraded fuel system, TFS 235's, smaller pulley, etc, but at the moment I'm pretty happy with the results

 

Big improvement with some smaller wheels and tires too. That alone would be worth a tenth or two, just in the first half. Seems like it could use a little more converter too.

Still very good times! AWD im assuming?

 

Runs well. Congrats. Great mph

 

Thanks man! Yes, AWD and no spin outta the hole w/the 80e and 305/40/22's. Good idea!..I just may look into some inexpensive wheels and drag radials - if there even is such a thing Converter is flash stalling right at 3k now even though I ordered a 2600 stall from PI, so I'm really happy with that

Thanks Rob. I'm having Lonnie's build me a double pumper in tank bucket now and will most probably be doing the heads this winter as well. THEN I can add that 3.0" pulley for the track next Spring!

My second run (fastest run) was a race fuel tune too which should have put me into 11's, but that 255 just couldn't keep up enough, not to mention IAT's we at 117 while waiting in line for my run.

 

Yea before I had the cam, I played with my two sets of wheels. My 285/50-20 tires on Centerlines were .1-.2 slower in the 1/8 than my 265/60-18s with junk american racing wheels. My 18s are almost an inch shorter also so I know that helps out a little bit.

 

That MPH is good for mid 11s in your truck , Congrats !

You will love that Vigilante converter ,good stuff and built tough , drives excellent .

Badass truck bud !

The date on your vid has me ??????? 2013 ?

 

I still hear the converter locking in 2nd....
