I swapped to some TR55 plugs, since the bottle is off and the TR6's I took out were BURNT along with a new ported and polished TB, and new intake tube... I must say the truck feels a ton better...

basically, I went from:
granatelli intake tube (square, junk)
stock TB
shot TR6 plugs

to...
Volant tube (same filter and location as before)
Shaner ported and polished TB (w/all the mods)
Fresh TR55 plugs

oh yeah, and the TB bypass finally....

feels much better from a dig, and better up top as well... should have done it sooner. and I have about $70 total in all the changes too

now I need to get retuned for n/a... my nitrous tune is still sucking.

I might make more than 301 on the dyno now

 

Bout time you do the TB bypass Ben! LOL When you going to finally get that tune dialed in man?

 

I updated my sig too... I'm such a badass

whenever I can take the truck and leave it with Kevin for a couple weeks so he can work on it... the tune will be fixed. it sure does feel good in this cold air we've had the past couple days

 

well ben your luck is changeing as well as my job ahaa should have weekends free starting in may, should only take a couple of days to get the truck to learn the stuff.

 

you finally got rid of that crappy intake. where dd you get the TB? did anyone ever decide on a date for a houston GTG?

 

so does the tb bypass really work
damm i think i should do that too
hope you get what you wanted on the dyno

 

I dont know if it really "works" persay... I just did it while I had the TB off and the hoses were right in front of me. no reason not to I guess... it was easier to bypass it than try to get those damn clamps back on the TB LOL...

now, if I can just get about 300lbs of JUNK out of it, I'll be in better shape. I layed down about 350 ft of rubber on the hwy in front of my house... made me feel better

 

Yeah, I got it from a guy here who went to a radix and didnt need it.. worked out for me. I got the TB used from a member here too. I cleaned it up a little and put it on, I figured it would idle like **** since the screw on the throttle blade had been moved but it didnt change... throttle response is better and I can definitely tell it flows better all over the RPM range.

Carey, Jordan... you know how I am with used parts... I'm all about used poarts

 

Yeah, except converters LOL!! Boy did that blown Vig make for a fun day on Lejeune

 

yeah, I have sworn off buying substantial stuff like that used... unless you 100% know its history... I sent that thing to PI because thats what it was sold as, and they said it wasnt even one of their converters after all... what a bunch of run around...
