6 speed setups

[powerstroked08]

Post them up! Want to see how big of turbos have been run on them. Just curious as to what kind of setups are being run with the 6 speed. What do you like or dislike about your setup. How's spool up and what not. Pictures are always a plus. Thanks fellas !

I will be getting my truck tomorrow with the new setup so don't have any impressions of it right now. My comments for the setup listed below:
Spearaco CAC, RCD CAC pipe, No Limits CAI, MM w/ GH, DPF/CAT delete 5", Sean's 4" DP, SB DD 3850, Bushwacker flares, Linex, 2.5" Icon level kit, DC FCII 305/70/18, SD inserts tailgate/grill, PMF Tbars w/ 5" block, Elite EGR delete, CFM+ elbow, CCV Mod, 6.0 manifold, Elite Up Pipes, Elite 71mm TP, ARP studs, Ported intake manny

Likes:
Quick spool up even towing heavy.
Runs very cool - EGTs stay in check even when climbing steep grades with heavy loads (grossing 30k and over).
Makes good power...but there is never enough hence the most recent upgrades.
Except I thinking synchos may be a little worn (based on sound), the tranny has been bulletproof once I did a clutch. Synchos aren't nearly bad enough to swap them.
All the other obvious perks of having a stick.


Dislikes:
Hard to shift
Shifts are slow.
Clutch is also very loud.
Truck is slower off the line cause I have to shift gears.

As it stands right now, I am over-clutched (my clutch was designed for 800 HP sled pullers).

This truck has HD pistons, HD valve springs and pushrods. H&s on standard hd300 tune. 66 single cast. Full 4" to dual exhaust. No-limit intake and RCD ss intake elbow. The clutch is a 3850. Not the easiest to shift but it runs good for a very stock truck.

I'll send this link to my friend matt. He has MPD 66/88 compounds , dual fuelers, and 60s. Truck is a blast.

I'm interested in your truck. I wish I could have ZF-6 swapped my old truck.

That truck looks like it moves out for sure.

I know on the 6.7 you can control what gear you are in to some degree but I don't know the full capabilities with aftermarket tuning. Could you set your truck up to have a lever coming from the floorboard where you have complete control of what gear it is in...like a tap shifter but it wont shift unless you hit the lever? I think that would be a wicked setup...you would get the best of both worlds.

It's pretty damn good about doing what you ask it. I mean I loved the compounds and setup of my 6.4. Love this truck too. 6speeds are nice they distract me from the bores of driving.

As Josh said, Matt's truck (blcksmk08) is probably one of the more ridiculous compound trucks on here that is zf6 equipped. His truck is setup perfectly for daily driving or balls out street tomfoolery.

Seeing that video makes me want a 6spd in my truck. Anyone wanna trade a 6spd for an auto lol.

As for drivability I love the way its setup right now even though my friends don't seem to think so. Its tuned by Josh at RCD and he has the fuel turned down way low cause I cant stand smoke at idle and off the line. I like the appearance of a turtle off the line to get people off track then when the turbos spool and it starts fueling its end of story. But when i had it tuned full fuel the turbos spooled decent with a lot of smoke. Definitely no stockers. It gets hot quick. But I handle it very well. Never seen over 1150 egt dailying it. But wot Ive seen 1600 the hottest. Cruising temps stay around 700-850. It cleans up every bit of the fuel at 73psi. Back pressure has pegged 100psi when the gate was stuck closed. But with it adjusted properly i usually see around 65-80psi. Cant really think of much more to say about it :shrug:



Ill get pics when the powder coat is done and the new rims are on.

Sick build.

On edit:
What's the deal with the brake lines?

 

[powerstroked08]

:whs:

 

[ncollins64]

I think he upgraded the brake lines for the same reason I did. I'm lifted and think he is also and Trevor's brake lines are made for lifted trucks without using a drop bracket to move the factory line down. There also made from quality materials from the USA. Maybe be can confirm

Exactly what Nathan said!! I love going fast but I love being able to stop also. When I put them on I noticed a huge difference in the pedal. It's nice to know I have brakes now. The factory ones were stretched with the leveling kit and Trevor's added just the right amount of slack to them. Peace of mind they won't break. I was a skeptic on them but now I recommend them to all my buddies.

Cool I can't wait to drive your truck now with the new brake lines so it's less scary slowing down from 130+ LOL. 900hp 6spd FTW!

Lmao yea I gets a little sketchy.

Have you had any failures in the tranny?
Besides the clutch, have you ever done any upgrades to the tranny?

Fingers crossed. No failures. Trans is still all stock besides the short throw shifter but that doesn't make anything stronger lol.

Good to hear....if your tranny has held to your truck, mine should be a walk in the park.


I have had my truck back from being under knife for less than a week, but so far, I have been extremely pleased with the results. As us gear jammers know, spool up is critical for driveability and this thing spools faster than with stock turbos and my old setup (all the air mods and a 71). I am really glad I did the 15% nozzles. I probably won't maintain on a full PW race tune, but if I am at 1500 RPM or higher, this things lights instantly. Eventually EBPs can get too high on a stock valvetrain (I assume mainly from the stock VGT) so I do have it gated. I tested my EGTs the other day on flat ground running 72 MPH at 1850 RPM (ambient temp was 72) and EGTs were between 535 and 590 if the speed was steady.
