My woman bought me a new xbox a few weeks ago for my birthday so I'm back online. I'll add you guys up tonight when I get home.

I paid $140 (IIRC) for a pressure check on my head about 3 weeks ago.

Yeah I can't puncture it but it does wiggle and move and wore a hole in my sock :banghead: One of these days I'll get an afe stage 2 or something. It NEVER ends. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ I have a list of the crap I want, maybe one of these days I'll be content.

The previous owner of my truck cut the bolts off and ground it down smooth when he had built compounds for it.

Welcome! I have seen your user name over on CompD iirc.

ahahahahaha Thanks for making my day go by a little better.

You only see 1100 wot with the smarty on the 170hp "tune?"

Hey now, I have had 3 trucks on that dyno. I would probably use it again if it was a load cell dyno.

I spaced about the egt's. 1500-1550* on the pyro was about the max it would go WOT on a hard run with the speed limiter sitting at 108 but from 1300-1500 it jumped up pretty quick.

My truck is a 1998 dodge 2500 short bed quad cab with a 12v and a 5 speed.

Great info guys! Good step by step process!

Anything from DDP, SDX, or CPP is going to be a good injector. Those guys put alot of time and effort into their product. I would stay away from industrial injection. I have a buddy that does injectors at a small local shop and said every injector from II that he has tested has been all over the place in pop pressures.

I run delo 15-40w in mine.

That's pretty intense!

Sweet I didn't know we could get a build sheet. I'll have to grab my vin off my pickup when I get home!

Hopefully the club will have a better turnout this time.

I really liked the ease of my edge jwa on my 06 with built in gauges, turbo timer, and adjustable power by the touch of a button it is hard to beat if you are looking for an out of the box tuner. I had an 5 level edge, aem brute force intake, and a shift kit. It was good for 47Xhp and 900lb ft. Picked up the edge off of cragslist for $200, bought the intake used for $50, then $90 for a new AEM dry air filter, the shift kit with billet servo covers cost me about $120 and I also cut out the cat and muffler in favor of a pro-flow 4" muffler I got from a buddy.

Sorry to hear about your troubles man! Those headlights look pretty sweet though! Which I had the patience for something like that.

Don't have any recent pictures of me towing anything but here is a few of the truck I used to have. Hauling my buddies trailer when I worked for him doing siding. There is a couple more on my other computer I'll get up later. EDIT: Hauling a decent sized generator with a huge fuel tank that was full. It didn't like to stop very well. Another hooked up to my buddies trailer at a job site. One of my favorites although it wasn't pulling a trailer but I did have a payload :D (The old dude leaning on the truck is NOT me btw)

How often do you guys rotate tires? I have never owned a vehicle long enough to need new tires, or really put very many miles on tires. From what I have read on other forums rotating tires is one of the main things in tire wear is that true? Rotating every 3-5k will help tires last longer? Just curious because I will be looking for a new set of tires and rims in the next few months, and don't want to end up with 25k tires.

I think you will like them both. They are fairly similar, but that little housing on the he351 is going to build pressure and heat faster. From the people who I have talked to the hx40 is a little slow coming on. I really liked the hx35/40 hybrid I ran (maybe that's why it's still in my garage?), but I had way too much fuel for it. Now i'm on turbo number 4 .... GOOD LUCK

Welcome to the site! I'm a rather new member myself, and I have found many good reads!

Good deal man! Studs are a good idea too. I thought I was safe at 50psi with studs, but you know how well that went....:banghead: Get er done man so we can find a good dyno and get some numbers.
