Ryne @ Cunningham Motorsports did the base tune, Eddie @ Addiction Motorsports did round 2. I would highly recommend either one, Addiction is considerably closer to me (45 mins). I was trying to make Truck Wars but ended up missing it cause I strained my back and had to rest and ice

 

Ok guys here is the graph, finally figured out Win Pep 8 lol.

 

Damn. Impressive

 

Well, I wanted 600... combo isn't a 100% stock 5.3:

stock 150k LM7 shortblock
862's milled .030", 3-angle valve job (10.4:1)
BTR springs
Tick Stage 1 (215/219 114+3 cam)
E85

 

Amazing build! Love the 18's but then again I'm not a fan of big wheels. Would love to have a turbo RCSB for a toy! Keep after it. I've been working on mine for 15 years and maybe I'll get everything exactly the way I want it before I die. Lol

 

Wise words! I'll have to check your build thread if you have one. I've been working on this one for about a year and have learned a lot. Never done forced induction before so I feel like a newb much of the time.

 

I've heard good things about Ryne. I was hoping you were in norcal...

 

I'm on the Central Coast so it usually takes me 4+ hrs to get to CMS ...they're not exactly close. What about Synergy?

 

Ok guys so I finally got to the track. Best ET's 11.7x and best mph 116. I learned a lot, namely my IATs were through the roof (190s) and the truck just got slower and slower as the day went on. 11.8,11.9 and 113mph, 112mph. Granted the DA was 2300ft and ambient temps in the low 90s. I'm very stoked with the first outing, I took logs and learned that without a doubt (I think) my intercooler is not efficient enough. I actually made my best pass on 10.8psi because anything above the log shows in one single cell it goes from 11.5 to 12.5 and the boost controller would cut boost. That's a tuning issue or a symptom of the IATs I'll have to address.

60ft's were consistently in the low 1.7's in 4wd and I had zero spin. The morning before I did a home alignment with a level and zero'd out the toe and camber for maximum contact patch. Rear Calvert adjustable shocks were set 9/9 and I put 1 full turn of preload on the caltracs. I didn't have a lick of traction issues all day so I didn't mess with them.

Any suggestions guys? Is my intercooler holding me back? Truck feels like it loses 100rwhp between the 1/8th mile and the end of the 1/4. Overall though a very fun outing and the older guys at the track can't get enough of it, which is always fun.

 

Depends how conservatively the tuner has the computer pull timing from IAT. If you have e85 or meth you can be more aggressive about it. I am a big fan of the meth so I am going to recommend that, I like alky control.
