120 is scary fast in a pickup! I'm sure even 4th feels different with your 1st-3rd. Whats your input on the W58 - what effect did it have on your 0-45mph time?

this might be a strange question, buuuut...

what speed are you at when you are in 2nd gear at about 5600 RPM? (this would be right before the stock rev limiter.)

totally unrelated question:
and what RPM do you have the MS set to cut you off? 7XXX?

Yea, pretty scary! Don't know the effect...it's kind of hard to judge because I haven't gone to the track since I got back from Afghan. I'll post vids for sure when I hit the track.

I don't know...In 2nd gear I'm mostly spinning the tires with these drag radials. Unless I let off and slowly get into it. So I don't usually start my street runs until 3rd gear. But, we'll see when I mount the 26" MT et streets and head to the 1/4 track.

RPM cutoff is set at 7500 rpms....

Dyno session scheduled for tomorrow...stay tuned for results!

671taco · 02-20-2013, 11:04 AM

Wassup guys...not much gain but there are some things I need to mod before the next dyno. Good thing I'm doing this before heading to the track. Happy with the results I should be able to hit low 12's and maybe dip into the 11's with the power I have now. I just have to make sure I launch the sh!t out of it! lol So I'm pretty happy about the 434whp and 368tq!!!
