My Build Thread-American Hogger

[blk350on20s]

Did you neck the exhaust from 5" to 4" or is it 6" to 5"? Just curious. We were able to keep mine 5" all the way through. How are all of your clerances since we last talked? Looks like its coming together nicely!

It goes from 5 to 4. We could have squeeked by with 5" but it was so much nicer fitting with 4". Everything clears so nice. I couldn't be happier. Only mods we have to do for fitment are moving the wastegate around the big charger a little. It was too close to the pcm plug for me. We also had to move the hood shock outward and cut a little section of the inner skin of the hood. I could dent it in but it would look like ****. Just gonna cut and glass it after the challenge.

No. I will bring it but not run. Break in and gate tuning will not be done yet.

I run both but primarily innovative. I don't know why they didn't put innovative on my dpc piece. I just got tunes from gear head for the new setup last week. Gotta get ahold of Eric and the guys at innovative to get some as well. Had trouble getting through on the phone last week.

Which tuning did you like better for competition? ive got innovative right now but trying to decide if i want to run them again or try gearhead for sled pulling once i get my truck back together.

I had gear heads tunes on for a half hour at the dunes. I was testing stuff out and it didn't work. I haven't had them in the truck since 2012. I just got new ones for twin pumps and the new turbo setup. Well see how it goes. I've been an innovative fan since 05. His tunes are hard to beat. My truck was an absolute animal last year with his extreme X file.

back to back dyno tests should tell some tale also..

Ya that extreme x file is crazy i DD with it for awhile last summer, tried xtreme race at the pulls and it just dumped smoke out the tailpipe and made the crowd dissapear on the right side of the track haha but it didnt pull all that great i was getting beat by tuned 6.0's...guess ill have to try both this year and see which works best, thanks!

Yep. Heading down minks way to toops for an all day dyno session. Gonna try and get matt or Eric to check logs and email me back files while I'm on the dyno. Should help a lot.

That should be sweet, try to have someone get some videos, use a go pro if you have one! If not i could send you mine to use, just pay the return shipping. Actually its like new not sure why i bought it, but i'll put it to use this summer hopefully!
