If my truck trapped over 700 with 60hp nozzles at 6,000', yours will be close enough that it doesn't matter down where you are closer to sea level.
I'll stick to being a little girl, thanks. Lol
A little update on my truck...

I agree JD. I'll stick to keeping my truck on the road vs the shop.
Question for you is are you spraying the giggly gogo juice on factory bottom end.

I'm spraying it on factory most things. Factory head gaskets with H-11 studs. Heads have never been off the truck.

You have a gate too right. Springs and pushrods. I'm sure I could go back and find this info in ur thread. But just thought I would ask. I need to worry more about a trans and traction then spray. But I may keep it in the back of my head for future

What this guy said ^
Planned on springs and push rods for DPC, but now........
Not really, they are waiting at the shop. They will go in with the 6.0 manifolds and up pipes when the big chargers go on.

Sheesh. I overbuilt then. Lol. Jk. Well I'll leave y'all alone. Thanks for the insight.
On a side note. Heads off my truck. Seems no ring groove at top of my cylinders. Shop tells me it looks really good and clean. Yay.

These things have really gained weight over the years. My 03 ccsb is 7400 with a 1/4 tank. My wheels are heavy as Hell too.
That's really awesome your truck has treated you so well jd. I bet you're at the point where you feel like it doesn't owe you anything and wouldn't be all that disappointed if it blew up tomorrow. That's a damn good feeling.

Lol I always tell people that my results are not typical... I've been incredibly lucky that this truck has treated me so well. I try to take really good care of the motor as far as maintenance goes.
We were talking about that yesterday. I couldn't ask for any more from this truck.

Oh I know they r not typical. I deleted and tuned mine and blew an up pipe with in 2 wks.

yup, a guy I know deleted and tuned his 6.4...melted every single piston in it, turbos were shot, whole thing was trashed running from the popo and he was only in the spartan 250 tune, but he did hold it wide open for 4 or 5 miles bouncing off the rev limiter dry pavement so he was going pretty fast when the motor was toasted...and it was warrantied, and he did evade them. and now his up pipes are ***ed 30,000 miles later....wouldn't you know he brought the tech, arp head studs, and an egr delete kit, and got it all installed under warranty while his new motor was going in.

my dad always told me, that no matter what your doing....
if its over built you will never know it.
but if its under built you'll find out fast.
cars, trucks, buildings, anything.
there is no such thing as over built

That's awesome!!! Was that the first time you have been the driver and broke 12 (any vehicle)?
I think I will have to borrow that and tell my son the samething....probably wait till he is 2 though.

It's a throttle. Not an on/off switch.
JD's truck is a freak.

Well I went to the track again last night and only got two runs in before it rained. First run I made a slow pass and second run realized I was out of nitrous. Ran 12.1 both passes. A couple buddies got decent videos of the truck I thought I'd share!

I don't have a video of the first pass, but I spun pretty bad. I can honestly say that I am now a firm believer in OUO's stuff and I'm betting that if I didn't have that setup I would have broken some stuff. I left too hard and did a 4 wheel drive burnout for what felt like forever. I assume it was only 80-100', but the truck stayed planted. No hopping, no shudder, no drama. Just a clean, smooth destruction of tires LOL
Disregard the shifting in that run - needed to make a tweak to the tune that Matt has already done for me
Oh, and here's a sweet picture lol

You guys have to have a ton of time into tuning to get that truck that clean at that altitude while getting as much power out of it at possible. I wonder how different the numbers would be at sea level.
