Smoke is pretty much non existent, just a slight puff when you first stomp on it in the tow tunes. The hot tunes are a different story, quite smoky until your above 15ish psi, but I kind of expected that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

https://vimeo.com/178406307 Not too shabby for a tow tune. That's on a decent uphill grade with ambient temp at 88* and 70% humidity. I adjusted the gate tighter by 2 turns and gained about 3-4psi. Think I could still go 3-4 turns tighter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was thinking of setting it at 30 in the tow tunes, should end up around 40 in the hot tunes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've got a full set of gauges with a mechanical boost gauge. It comes up to about 26-27psi and you can see pressure settle back to 24-25 when the gate opens. Hot tune will overrun the gate and still make 30psi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Quick question regarding this 38r, where should I set the gate at? Don't really want to overspeed it and trash it. Right now it's set at 25psi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yea bad wording on my part too, before with stock injectors and whatever tuning came in the truck I couldn't let it fall below 1600rpm or it would surge the heck out of this 38r. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Next show we're going to will be next weekend and there are a few good hills to pull, so I should be able to get some good numbers. Has yet to set a cel running high rpm wfo or lugging 2-2500rpm so I'm thinking my adrenaline is going to be just fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup got them in last night, drove it to work empty today and so far so good. I have to play around with the wastegate though boost is a little low and in the hotter tunes it smokes pretty good. Lower tunes seem ok as far as smoke and temps go. It definitely woke the truck up, seems like the...

Pulled the trigger on a set of 200/30's. Figured that would be safe 450ish hp max, so I shouldn't have to worry about the clutch or kicking a rod. Kinda eager to see how they run. I have to admit, setting up a truck like this is a first for me. My other trucks, and a few that I have helped build...

Exactly, I guess I just don't understand why it's hard to detune a larger set. I guess at that point the injection event has to be just about perfect or things could get outta hand quickly, which is probably why tuners want something smaller. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That was my thinking, but I've personally never tuned a truck. I could care less if it smoked a little between shifts, can't be any worse than it is now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes I plan on sticking with the 38r, although I'm not overly impressed by it now, I just like the fact it's a direct bolt on and I'm using the ebpv as an exhaust brake which is very nice to have. I've always used swamps tunes in the past for the hot trucks that I've built (450/400's with a big...

Guess I should have said earlier that new tunes were coming weather I get injectors or not, been in the 7.3 world a looong time and know the benefits of a real chip vs a programmer. I've just been running what I have to save some coin until I got the other vehicles paid off. Also should have...
