Hey buddy this is James, I haven't posted much as I am new to the forums, been more of a lurker for the last 6 months..
I installed the stage 3 last Friday. Ran it on my extreme x file! Let her warm up in the garage after the install, I let her finish the relearn and then headed out for its maiden cruise. Sure as **** the first light I get too as I get out of the subdivision, a cummins boy pulls up and starts to play. *The light changes as I contemplate rippin on it afraid of the tranny not being relearned. *Ahhh screw it. *I lay down into as he already has peeled off the line.
Boys the next few seconds were like being a teenager getting laid for the first time! I knew it was going to be exciting but had no idea what it I was getting into! Oh and it was over about as quick too!
The Truck pauses for a *couple seconds and the turbo lights! Holy crap dude it shoots off like a rocket! I caught him as i hit second gear and again chirps the tires! The turbo is whistling and sucking like standing by a commercial make up air unit! Cant tell ya what it was making for boost as i was doing all i could to hang on and enjoy the ride! It grabs 3rd gear and again hear rubber, it starts to get a little squirrelly and I back out as I'm approching the s bends in the road! Cummins dude is now several lenghts behind! I honestly have not felt that much power since my 12,000 *$ done up chevy 468 big block.
Got two thumbs up at the next lights from dodge boy!
Next I go to head out on to the highway to see what else she has. Hit 40 psi on wot and was doing 110 mph before i even got to the end of the ramp, Egt's only got to 1375. Every time I tried.
At 70 mph on cruise. Rolling small hills Egt's were between 875 on flat and 1250, 4 psi boost.
Rolling into it from 60 to 100 mph would show 6psi then go to *28-30 psi. Hard to tell if therenis a mid rage as the truck is really moving in this upper range and 5th gear
Truck honestly has never felt so good! After this run I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital as I'm sure I had wood for more than 4 hours!
Next day I switched to the extreme street file, we put about 500 miles on it all highway with some extreme grades, one hill is about 3 miles long as you climb out of a valley! I left it on cruise at 70 mph it held 20 psi and 1300-1350 was the hottest it got on the peak of the climb.
This truck is not my daily driver and I haven't had a chance to drive or refuel to see what the mpg was like for the trip!
Real impressed with the stage 3 so far.
