actually looks like he needs to cut further up in the core support. also you can loosen the mounting of the intercooler and allow the outlet side down a bit as well.

That would do it too.

So tried the 310 spartan file today late lock up and my transmission absolutely hated it. From a dig it didn't want to shift right so I just got out if it. From about 60 mph it was fine and dandy. Smoke cleared up great when I was up to speed. From a dig there's a boatload of smoke but I'm sure it clears up quick although I never got the chance to keep running it.

Think it's about time for some custom tuning.

My truck was same way on 310EL. Trans didnt know what to do when I got into it hard. I didnt mind the firmness but I dont want it searching for which gear it should be in.

I'll take some pictures tomorrow. It's actually getting in to the core support rather than just the radiator support piece. I moved the intercooler a little to get it lined up how I've got it

Hey webb, where'd you get the silver heat material that you put under your up pipes?

I'll just leave it. It's not going anywhere and I'm not going to cut anymore.

I got the heat screen piece from Oreilly's. it's actually supposed to go around a starter but I just zip tied it on. There's an actual website you can order pieces from that'd prolly be better for you since you have time to order stuff. Someone listed the website a few pages back

I'll check back a few pages thanks

420s seems to be the popular choice these days. i have them on my srt8 grand cherokee and they hook.

thats unfortunate. ive got a friend looking to get rid of an almost new set of 305/55r20 proxes. does rim size or tire size matter much? one size helping in e/t time?
