How does the suspension respond to the power?

So far it's good but, It's only at 8psi with conservative timing.... might be 400whp? Its a kp components parallel 4 link...it had some wheel hop with stock motor. I expect to make some changes to it, eventually I'm going to fab up new frame/axle brackets so i can adjust instant center.

Do you have a BOV? I hear lots of what sounds like compressor surge in that video

Yes, i do have a BOV, I'm not sure it's working right. Haven't gotten a chance to look at it yet.

This is worth a read especially if you are doing the fab work. https://www.airsuspensionbook.com/
Only covers rear suspension volume 2 will be all about front setups.

Up to 14lbs... I'm going to add a little bit of timing and call it good. I think ive had the fuel tank in and out 6 or 7 times. Ditched the gates submersible hose for holley, not saying the gates hose is bad, I stretched it way out to fit the hose barb fittting i had and expected it to fail, but it failed sooner than i thought it would...Ditched the intank plug for walbro 450 fuel pump which failed and soldered the connections with heat shrink wrap. Cut a piece of the stock fuel line to cover positive wire splice.

Limped truck home on 25psi of fuel within half mile of home, then towed it home with my zero turn mower in the pouring rain.

Blow off valve was an easy fix. Plug on the right is what came in the box... missed getting the threads rolled. I emailed turbosmart and they sent a new one free of charge. Tried to find one locally but it must be BPT. I had it just forgot to put it in.

I bought this battery powered fuel pump to put diesel in my tractor since the loader arms are in the way, i love it and use it for everything since the epa gas cans are garbage. I almost miss the sweet burn gasoline in my mouth.
