    Headlight foot dimmer switch again...

    You would also fail human factors engineering with flying colors... For clarity this truck I have now is the first auto I've ever bought. A manual transmission is the WORST with the fuktarded stalk high beam, as you have to CONSTANTLY remove your hand from the stick to hold the wheel so you...

    Supercharged 7.3

    Sounds just like the crap ass worn out injectors I just changed out in my gray truck. Almost every morning the truck would have a dead miss for a mile or so down the road then snap to attention like you threw a switch. Wouldn't crank when it was below about 20 degrees either, so be aware that...

    Supercharged 7.3

    With the 38R and 1.15 housing on my gray truck I had boost as follows: 1200rpm = 3.5 to 4 psi. 1500rpm = 8 to 9 psi 1750rpm = 18 to 19 psi Anything above that is pretty much 30psi. Those values are sitting at the mentioned rpm and building boost, not making boost higher and then pulling...

    Supercharged 7.3

    Didn't matter. At 90psi it was only running the gates at like 20 and 30%. Each turbo only had to make 24.5psi when you had 90lbs on the manifold. Just about any injector will do that. If each turbo made 41.5psi you would have 200psi on the manifold! That's how easy boost is when you...

    GT47-88 with a 1.39 A/R housing and GTP38R with 1.15 A/R housing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIrj6R6bSmg Listen to the angels sing, lol. Truck didn't make sh*t for power on that dyno, although nothing else did either. That program made 630 to 650rwhp on two different Dynojets. You want...

    Supercharged 7.3

    My red truck would produce regulated boost of 70psi at or below 1700rpm, because my induction system was not tied to the crankshaft, and was free to build boost as the engine needed it. Thankfully it also produced nearly zero boost at that same rpm if just cruising and at no time did it make...

    Supercharged 7.3

    At the end of the day you make less power than you would have if you'd done nothing but left the induction system stock all while having to listen to that god forsaken racket all the time, while getting poor fuel economy at all times. A guy with a drop in replacement turbo, or just a wheel...

    Supercharged 7.3

    The blower can ONLY be a restriction when you place it ahead of the turbo. It can NEVER be a restriction after the turbo unless it is literally displacing less than the engine. Period. The turbocharger does not make the engine ingest more air volume, only more air mass. The volumetric flow...

    Supercharged 7.3

    My mind is still blown as to why the blower isn't south of the turbo with a nice T6 framed charger in the 80 to 90mm flavor bringing the pain up top... The blower would run the truck around town and the turbo would pump up the jam when you wanted to get the F down the road. They would work...

    Step bars or no step bars

    I love the amp steps. Just had to throw away their smurfette blue leds and replace them with some strips in the 3-4000k flavor. Now I just need to unscrew the controller dept and we'll be all set.

    Step bars or no step bars

    Maybe I'll build the controller and have it plug right into their own harness connector (cheese dick connector btw) that way I can just sell controllers to fix the junk. Imagine an adjustable pot where YOU set how much stall you want! What a novel idea! Want to strip gears and set wires on...

    Step bars or no step bars

    My Amp steps only rully retract about 40% of the time after a few months of use. I've taken them back apart and torqued sh*t and aligned sh*t to no end, but depending on where I park they may or may not fully retract. In any case, they are always free to move by hand when they give up and...

    Swamps..... since back when it was either Swamps or Hypermax and that was IT!!! Back when you put them together with no bench and hoped for the best, and sometimes got it, lol. Because you didn't know anything better! First injectors I ever ran were 175/146 with some junk tuning from Dennis...

    I wish I could drive the file in a manual truck because coming off idle it might take off a little bit and need smoothing out, and I don't know how strong it would be as you come off the clutch. Those are two points I always had to nail down on my actual manual files. Can't stand a truck with...

    Look at the pw map in the program on my gray truck right now: Compared to the stock pw map: And it should be obvious why I had to work so hard with the multipliers to achieve similar starting fuel pw for cold weather. The multiplier doesn't have to be very strong when it's acting on...

    My injectors were actually firing off at lower pw than a stock program would have been calling for. When I asked for 8.6ms the factory program would have been asking for 9.45 in the same conditions IIRC... My oil is basic 15w40 Rotella. The 5w40 synthetic does better, I've tested it, and ran...
