    Going to hook this weekend...advise

    Here you go https://youtu.be/NVB8_LvqgyI We were at a baby shower and I was trying to talk everyone into going. Then it rained like crazy. But talked 7 peeps into joining us. Got there a little late as the open class was lining up. My friend, who's in that class, said sign up. So I did and...

    It might be wet too. I haven't put it on the dyno, but should have in the neighborhood of 600HP

    Tomorrow is the day. What air pressure should I run? What gear to start? Get going hard? Start in 4low,3rd n shift to 4th? Airbags at Max? Shocks full stiff? Strap the front end. What else?

    That is amazing. Is this recipe reproducible? Roughly what would it cost to get there? and other driveline upgrades needed?

    6.7 blows alot of smoke.

    Yea, the G3arhead tunes on my 12 were just about smokeless. Smaller turbo than the 16 tho.

    6.7 blows alot of smoke.

    mine smokes like a freight train too. full pipe kit, intercooler and 5" out the back. Tyrant tuned. Tyrant has promised they'll tweak the tune for me, but I have not had time to mess with it in months so it's not done. I feel like I need to hook up with them and get it on a dyno to properly...

    My dad wants to buy 2x 2002 F550s...How to convince him to get a 6.7?

    My father is thinking of buying 2x F550 flatbeds w/ 180kmi on them. I know, I think he's crazy too, get a 6.7 I said. What problems are these known to have? I know they have the 7.3 which seems to be pretty popular. Are they OK stock. He lives in Illinois...emissions testing? Any advise...

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    So if...the tuning profile that Tyrant is offering isn't optimized, where/who can I get an custom tune?

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    so, seeing peaks of 1500 and cruising at 700...seems about what stock did...what did I get for my thousand bucks? more airflow?

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    I was on the highway briefly today. @70mph. Tried to pay attention to EGTs. They were between 600° and 800° depending on slight incline or decline over the brief trip. Mostly right in the 700° range. Boost was sub 5psi I thought with the big intercooler it would be cooler than that.

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    Yes, thats how it is now. Yes, plan to use sotf if I can ever get it working. Tyrant sent another switch and it aeens to be the same exact no limit as the one in the truck now. Only been on the highway once and forgot to look at egts. My bad.

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    I'd hate to be YOUR pistons. You do know that aluminum MELTS at 1221°F right? BTW, had a Mustang GT give me the rev & squeal at a stop light. He took off so I gave it the wood. Saw him shift hard (little puff of black from his car, which tells me it's not stock) and I was right on his tail...

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    The engine roars on Extreme The trans is too mild for my taste. It feels like stock. Very well done if that's what you want, but I was hoping it would shift more like my G3arhead tuned '12. That is a little harder on the shifts and a little earlier to downshift keeping the revs up on the...

    EGT, how hot is too hot, and what can be done

    Got some help on facebook, from a guy who neither makes the part, nor sold it to me. Thank you Thomas Tysiak! You neither mocked me, nor belittled my choice of purchasing from a competitor, you simply helped. Turns out tyrant shipped me the wrong No Limit switch. Further, it is so far out of...

    Backroads and stop&wait traffic so far. Will probably get it out on the highway this weekend. Still trying to work my way through a faulty sotf
