I want to get it all together. Break it in and run it across a dyno somewhere around here

If your not adding fuel your stock trans should hold for a while. It is kinda luck of the draw though so good luck lol

I guess as soon as it all goes together and shows that it all works right. I'll have some stock parts available to do some trading or selling on. Factory LP and VGT, factory intake, up-pipes exhaust manifolds, along with whatever is not used on my afe stage 2 after upgrading to the elite stage afe CAI. I don't know if there is a section for this post around here but figure it's in my thread why not. Lol

On my phone all I see is topics. I don't see banners attached to vendors websites, I don't see a vendor section at all. I've looked for a classifieds section to buy used and haven't run across anything. So if there is somewhere specific to post please guide me there. I'll assure you I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you and have a great day

I found a dyno less then 2 hrs from me. I m gonna make sure the truck runs well enough and see if I can get in. My question is if I take it in should I datalog the whole thing and send it in for any tweaking. Sounds like a good idea to me. First dyno run. I don't know what to really expect

what i do is put the truck in tow/haul with the gearhead tunes as it holds out 4th. i get it into 4th locked and then bring the rpms down to 1800. when the dyno dude says hes ready, roll into it hard and take it up to just under 4k rpms.

I was wondering about tow/haul. She runs like a different beast in it but wasn't sure if she was safe to race or dyno in it

Is there a particular type of dyno that's more accurate that I should look for.

putting tow/haul on and making it shift back to 4th is the only way I can get my single to spool on the street from a roll LOL.
