Schapstic, ME TOO. I want to see my own Dyno numbers. I’m really excited, but I’m trying not to be too excited. I hope I haven’t set an unrealistic goal—which I think is easy to do. I have my fingers crossed.

Have you tried American Adventure Labs? I bought their trailer light receptacle relocation kit—installed nice. Their crossbars look bullet proof

I believe you are referencing the DSR group and Turbosmart down under. DSR added a big injector just in front of the intake manifold—which made our “Dry” intake manifold “”Wet”. Probably keeps the intake valves clean. I’m looking more local. Nostrum makes an “X” series kit that comes with the...

That’s exactly what I was thinking. And. It you don’t like it—you didn’t destroy your original like with the Fabulous Fab version. Parts from Australia now have 25% tariff, making those already expensive/expensive to ship, pipes even farther away from me affording them.

You didn’t gain any hp with the intercooler? That is usually part of the “secret sauce” to at least 100hp or more. Look at the Hennessy Velociraptor 500hp with tune and intercooler—that’s it. High intake air temps (IAT) is the enemy of a performance engine. We have to retard timing, lower boost...

Our baselines are about the same. Mine was 346.5hp (I think in another post I listed it 10hp lower—right next to the dyno chart—duh, I goofed that one up). The turbos are advertised to give me about 18% more air flow? SPD Downpipes, maybe 20-30hp, low temp thermostat? Cold Air box, maybe 5-10hp...

Here the front end is finally all put back together. The Process West intercooler is huge and you can see a lot of silver behind the grill. I kind of went back and forth about the color, should I have got the black (for OEM, stealth look), or should I get the silver (it’s kind of grill bling). I...

I like how they called them “acoustically tuned expansion chambers”. They did sound good, but I wish I could hear them in person. One thing I absolutely don’t want is drone going down the highway. I just put the SPD downpipes on—and I am waiting to hear it run and see what the SPD downpipes...

I’m looking at your picture—I think you stole my truck—or you have the same color taste. As far as Dyno, I was supposed to be there today. We had a few set backs and I just got off phone with tuner/dyno and the earliest I can get in there is Thursday.

I just followed the link for the AFE exhaust. It’s kind of different than most others. It has no resonators in the rear ( just before tail pipe), and it has what appear to be extremely small mufflers on the bypass pipes. Most other manufacturers have large mufflers on the main pipes—not on the...

Installed the Process West Cold Air Box. The air filter was changed from oiled cotton to an AFE dry media filter.

Process West Charge/Crossover Pipes installation. The red pipes really stand out and add some “pop” to the engine compartment. Also installed is a Turbosmart blow-off valve. On the firewall, just to the left of the master cylinder, is a Red can. That is a IAG brand Air Oil Separator (AOS)—...

Process West Stage 2 Intercooler installation. The entire front end of the truck had to be removed to install the huge intercooler. Not shown in the pic, I also installed the PW trans cooler. The guys at the shop seem to be doing an awesome job.

Are we talking about the Milltek valved cat back exhaust? If I’m not mistaken, and I could be, I have seen numerous YouTube videos with that exhaust. I see the system for sale from several venders, one I just looked at 5minutes ago while I was looking for spark plugs. Maybe I’m wrong. One...

Dynoing the stock engine before I did anything I thought was a big part of my plan. I am kind of going through a complete shift in thought of performance vehicles. I am an old-school hot rodder. I have built balanced, blueprinted, 4bolt main, steel crank….blah blah, engines. I have in the past...

I think I’m getting old—I couldn’t find them on your website. As usual—no rush, I just need them before Dyno on Monday. I know humor doesn’t transfer very well in text—but I have a big grin on my face. I have not installed an exhaust. I did install new new Alpha Cat SPD Downpipes (thanks...

You are so right—the truck is a blast to drive. When I first ordered the truck, I was only going to do the Ford tune like you. While waiting for the truck to be built (6months), I started reading on-line forums, watching YouTube videos etc, and let’s be real—6 months is a long time to wait...

No, I’m not going to dyno after each modification. Some items such as the turbos and downpipes/cats logically make sense to change both at same time—as you have to remove the original cats/downpipes to change the turbos. Changing turbos, you have to drain coolant—might as well install thermostat...

Sorry, they were just installed. Yeah, DirtDerrick will help you out, I bought some of my stuff from him.

I sure hope so. I’m having the turbos installed with down pipe/cats, intercooler/charge pipes/CAi, etc. I found a dyno and tuner and dynoed the truck last Friday to see what it did stock (346.5hp).
