Well, she is on the road. Built bottom end, ported heads, larger valves, Crower stage 2 cams, Kenne Bell s/c, long tube headers, high flow cats, x-pipe, and Magna flow mufflers. Also have the monster box with 2400 stall.
I am only running a 4 pound lower pulley till break in is done, then the 6 lber goes on to have a street boost of 13.5 lbs.
After the build up and the initial runs all I have is a small leak at the r/h collector which I will replace with a better seal in the morning. If that is all I have had I am very happy. I have driven now 250 miles and no leaks of any kind.
I have to install my boost a spark, which I want to do so I don't have to keep pulling the plugs and re gapping them when I go to the track with my 20.5 psi boost. I have to install my remote tranny cooler, with fan, and run the wires for my tranny temp as well.
After 175 miles I started to raise my rpm more. All I can say is WOW. The cams can really be felt coming into play after about 2700 rpm. Seems to be a real big increase in power. At the higher rpm the KB just runs circles over the Eaton hands down. No loss of power what so ever at the higher rpms. Just keeps pulling and very hard too. At idle you can hear the lope but doesn't shake the truck as I have heard others say the stage two's would do. No complaints there at all.
I took it to 4500 from a stop and when the 1-2 shift hit( no more torque reduction) it broke the tires loose. I was rather surprised, hate to see what it does when I am at the 13.5 and having it to the floor on the shift.
I will be getting my dyno tune the second week in June but the temporary tune seems to be performing well as is. I will take it to the max shift points in a few days and run her hard and pull the plugs to make sure all is well. So far so good. Can't wait till she is tuned and I hit the track!
