600hp was fun but boring. Going bigger!

I don't know why it would mess with anything. They're not important to the function of the engine. I mean, I don't even have a fuel bowl and it has a T4 kit. Where would you put that stuff? Nowhere. It's gone.

It was raining pretty hard so....

No I dont. I just kinda left that one off on a whim. I'm gonna put a manual gauge on it into the cab to watch it.

It'll roast all 4 tires for quite a while on sealed pavement. It's not like I have slicks on sticky pavement. There isn't as much traction as you might think.

My experience with loose TC bolts required a tap, longer bolts, locktite, and a few prayers.

The same big single disk converter, billet flex plate, and trans are in that truck today though.

Same deal though, buddy of mine was sure he blew the engine. Took him about another 20k after that to blow the engine lol.

So I drove it to work again last night. Drove great. I got in it this morning to come home and it started up really easy. Especially for being 35° out and an engine with piston work. Just a little smoke on startup. Let it warm up and took off. The dang ses flashed at me again. Haven't checked yet, but I bet I have those same codes again. It seems to be running smooth and without issue, but I can't help but feel like it isn't right. I can't quite explain it. It has a bit more of a knock than usual and it has almost a feel of a really slight miss. It's weird. I can't say it's missing on a cylinder, but it has that feel like it's an issue that's starting. I'll bet the IDM code isn't fake if I had to guess.

Your getting paranoid. Every little rattle or squeak from here on out is going to put you on edge.

I still have the stock IDM.

Not paranoid. I do this all the time and I'm pretty much always right.

 

[Tree Trimmer]

did you drop compression when you did piston work??

and/or put in a cam?

 

[vanderchevy18]

No matter what you do, if you take material off the piston you lower compression. I don't know how much Carson Stauffer took off.

 

[Tree Trimmer]

i ask, as i dropped compression in mine, and am having to have to tunes redone to accomodate for that specifically.

i also get a haze till it warms up. mines bluish/fuel smelling.

No. I think noticing a difference depends on the quality of your stocker.. It may add 5-10hp on an engine Dyno but your not going to notice that sotp
