Ok guys, I'll add a small update here.
First, I need to reiterate that I needed a boost fooler in this truck to sort out the bucking I was getting at WOT. It didnt throw a CEL light or anything, but as I mentioned before, apparently the MAP sensor dosnt like getting crammed with boost and the signal to the PCM was becoming erratic, which would cause a buck. A boost fooler from Riffraff and that was sorted.
With the weather changing, wheels got the summertime treatment, and finally finished installing gauges for the 5th time, Never seem to be particularly happy with how they look.
I also need to put in a shameless plug for Dave at Veggiegarge (veggiegarge.com). As some of you know, this truck is a veggi oil truck and thus has some unique features with the fuel system. Dave is a great resource for anything Veggie related, and many of the stuff he deals with makes for great parts on any truck. For example...
Dave got me lined up with the premade stainless line with clear cover for even more protection.
Here is the front of the motor where the main diesel line feeds into (and a check valve).
That comes up the a 6an Tee, and then the two stainless lines each go to the back of each head.
Like so
Likewise, on the other side, the main veggie feed attaches here, and those two lines feed the front of the head (veggie line also has a check valve).
At any rate, Dave supplies these stainless lines in any length, and pretty much any size with whatever fittings you want. You just tell him and they get done up, that's how I did this setup.
I also wanted to try out some Tony Wildman tunes, so he sent me a few files :shocked:. Truck runs really well.
Here is a video of one hit on Saturday.

Haha, video dosnt do it justice, sure does feel like there's a lot more going on inside the truck. But the end results are:
-Makes 41psi of boost empty, might have made more but I have to drive at the same time.
-It dosnt have raw tire shredding power to just roll into it and be buying tires, at least not enough to break 35's loose, but it's still just an old 7.3 turd.
-(when you work for many many hours by yourself in the winter, your mind constructs a mythical rendition of how much power it's gonna have. It goes, but it aint the Street beast from Street outlaws... which is kinda what I had started imagining it was gonna be :doh
.
-WOT on AE is reading 3.9 volts. So I think the TPS needs a bit of adjusting. From what I have read, 3.9 volts is leaving ~0.5 volts on the big end, so that may make for a bit more tranny destruction potential.
Anyways, that's what I got. Still tweaking and getting suspension perfect, but it drives and it spins both tires, that's a win ?
