If they are not made in the states I won't touch them. It is a little fishy to me that they're just coming out with these and saying they will be half the price of R&Rs. T

Update. Truck did this. 6.7 fuel pump is awesome (thanks mikey) popped the intercooler today. So now I can't afford nitrous for Rudys. Hoping like hell the old one was plugged up bad enough to hurt the truck quite a bit In the 1/8th. Buying a hellman intercooler from Jason@gracing if I can work on the 60 and pull the back seat the old girl might still be in the hunt for 7.70 index!

I could but i deleted the ac condenser on that truck, its currently torn apart or id get you a pic.

Intercooler will be here Tomorrow, nitrous bottle ended up here

Other random stuff is coming in tomorrow. I'm going to cut a small hole in the center console so I can put my nitrous button in the side of the console kind of by the seatbelt buckle.

Which kit did you end up getting Jared?

It's a nos cheater kit. Originally a wet kit but from what I've read it's one of the best solenoids on the market so I bought it. Had to buy a few little parts but I only have $450 in it. Seems to work good lol

Well the truck trapped 90.96 in the 1/8 on spray. With a little .064 jet it runs better than most people will ever need. Went 7.90@87 on fuel!

The next goal is 11.80s on the bottle and 12.40s on fuel. This thing is running better than damn near every truck I've ever seen with 225s and under. The truck will stay pretty similar the rest of the year besides a s371. My goal for the year was high 11s and once I hit that I'll start saving to hopefully build a motor in the winter.

Congrats on the numbers!

I am curious to see how you like the s371. I thought you were gonna run an s467?

I have heard the s371 is a little prone to surging because of the small turbine wheel

I've heard that as well but the low flow of the 6l engine seems to keep that at bay. It's running so good with a 366 i don't feel the need to step up to a 400 just yet. This turbo is leaking and it needs to be replaced asap so I'm going a more cost efficient route. I am considering a 367.7 as well.

Is the 6.7 fuel pump still holding full pressure? it would be interesting to compare pressures over slow steps up in power to see how it responds.

I'm not even monitoring it. Egts are plenty High so I'm not worried.

Just FYI... Low flow means that it is more likely to surge. A surge condition exists when the pressure ratio is too high and the flow rate is too low.

Did you just say that you use your egt probe as a fuel pressure gauge???

I've never heard a 371 surge on a 6.0.... Many duramax guys complain about surging but after talking to someone with a 6liter that ran high 11s with a 371 for 2 years I'm confident I won't have issues.
