I do, I use a 140 gph pump. it actually dies when it went to shift second. I hear its ocmmon on this tune. so I downloaded the comp2

the 50 and 55 are REALLY close in size and wont compound well. also need a gate on top because the 7 (as you know) is already tight.

[Jim]

[DCreed]

Naa, im going up to Syracuse next Saturday.

[ktmcowboy]

nah haven't figure it out yet, that friggin allen key is tight as crap, so i gotta take a little time and find the right one, and get the beast to thread out some, so for now im just goin easy on her

[DMcpherson]

you have to try a comp tune, it feels so much better than the 2k tunes OMG

[DCreed]

try when its warm. brass shrinks in the cold more than steel.

[DCreed]

I will, but I have enough power to KILL my converter already.
the regular comp tune worked then?

[CTD735]

seems that my coolant in the overflow bottle is lower then i rememebed. UGH what could it be now.

[Jim]

its cold out it usually will look lower.

[olddodgetruck]

the comp tune is great, with a set of 250hp injectors you can explode a cylinder in like 300 feet. well maybe wet roads and the fact that it went from first gear to 3rd at 3600rpms in like 2 seconds had somthing to do with it

yeah. somehow that doesnt sound appealing.
How far have you gotten with the motor swap?

i hope so. also seems my heat wasnt as hot as usual on the way to derby he other night. like since it got really cold out single digits. i hope its just the cold weather

[DMcpherson]

the regular comp works up to 8 at 10 it will shut down on the 1-2 shift. I broke the line to my fuel pressuer gauge wo before I go to crazy I have to verify pressure and make sure im not running out of fuel from that

[olddodgetruck]

i got the turbos off the head off and i located a new block so i barley started

[DCreed]

While its apart why dont ya redo that crackin gate flange.

[olddodgetruck]

i want to do alot of of things while i have it apart but i realy want to just drive my truck again its been like 2 weeks

[DCreed]

I can do it for ya if you want.

[DCreed]

08 was fun!

http://nhrda.com/TV/2009-Promo.htm

[olddodgetruck]

i think im just going to weld up the cracks for now. i realy need an s300 on top so im not going to spend much time on this twins set

[CTD735]

now thats a truck right there
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/B...n-14_72637.htm

[ktmcowboy]

Well, i stopped over to todds tonight, gave him the spacer, jim i got your spoiler. ill get it to ya in a the next two weeks or so, whenever i head back down, wont be around this week, heading up to NY.

carl, todd said that because of the cold weather, and because of the tunes im running, i could be having timing surge because the weather is just too damn cold for it, i guess would be the best way to explain it. so im gunna load up a different tune and see how it goes.

[CTD735]

i dont know what people need to do friday but i would like to put in some different sticks and my new valve cover if its not gunna be busy

[CTD735]

which part? are u saying my truck will be fast then urs from injectors alone so i can be in the club? or the nice rick videos? or the pink?

Yeah Its close but what surprised me is the HX55 I have and the BHT3E and HT3B physically are very close in size..the BHT3E is just a little thicker in the scrool..check it out





I still could weld up a 12CM Wastegated housing and machine it down to mount the HX50 into it, and get a new compressor wheel for the HT3E and that would rock pretty well.. what do you think?
Thanks
Deo

[DCreed]

you can keep the top you have with the ex gate as long as no NOS. The 55 will work but not as well 'cause the 3E has a larger inducer and comp housing to keep pressure low/flow high = cooler boost @ same CFM.
PS-You'll prolly have to cut the inlet shorter off the 3E to fit or it'll be dang close to the oil filter. I have the SS gaskets for the 3E, they can be hard to find. I can also get the flange made for ya if need be.
