A little update on my truck...

[Beans71086]

BP was way high last night and I think it hurt numbers quite a bit. It only made 690 and you can see a dip in the graph where BP started to climb.

There may be something else going on but I'm not sure yet, so I will keep everyone posted later today.

On a sidenote, I swapped to Elite's new intake last night, and my truck made an extra 30hp as well.... crazy.

Much better! :redspotdance: I was a lil worried with your post in the intake thread. How much more do you think it has in it?

I would expect 700+ pretty clean but that's just a guess. I don't really know what to expect

anymore updates JD?

 

[NathannialD]

not to speak for JD but he will be here tomorrow to get some parts to help get his truck running the way it should

 

[powerstroked08]

Uh oh whats he lacking? Its not broke i guess is what im asking.

 

[jdgleason]

No updates yet, this week was hectic and with parts availability as it was I won't dig into it until tomorrow night or Saturday. I'll let you guys know what's up.

No sir not broken, just need a waste gate. I wasn't really even interested in driving it without a gate.

Cool! I was hoping it wasn't down. I have a gate here waiting to be put on when i do my turbo/intake change out. I don't want to have any bp issues with mine either. Really nice build you have by the way JD.:thumbup:

No sir! Just the calm before the storm I hope! Lol. Good call on the gate, I'm kicking myself for not doing it before with the cab up, but I guess we learned a bit about cams because of it. Thanks buddy!

 

[jdgleason]

Uh oh!

 

[pog]

looks nice jd!

 

[08BIGRIG]

I hope this solves your problems bud. Good luck man

 

[jdgleason]

Thanks boys! It's needed a gate for quite a while anyway lol I've just been in denial.

 

[powerstroked08]

Nice! I have the exact same gate, color and all! Let me know how you get it dialed in. Mine said to put 4 springs in it plain+black+blue+yellow for 21.5 psi :jawdrop: thats going to be a mother to bolt back together. I think ill be using a vise i think. But good luck man.

 

[NathannialD]

that is how we do it here get all the springs lined up and compress them in the vice.

 

[Dzchey21]

Isn't that too much spring? Not sure what's recommended for a stock/towpower set up

Good i was hoping i was doing this somewhat right.

Thats what Aaron suggested. He wanted to gate for like 20-25 pounds and to keep ebp below 60-65 psi on stock valvetrain.

 

[Dzchey21]

What did he recommend for regulator settings?

 

[WoodBoy]

I thought 68-70psi was about where you wanted it dialed to?

 

[powerstroked08]

He said the springs would get it close and to fine tune it with a regulator.
