Default Big Thanks to GFORCE Houston, Tx

GForce spent time with me to get the PCM4less fans working correctly for my TBSS.

My tune from my previous builder was locked, therefore GForce was kind enough to put them on a ignition on fuse until I could get the tune unlocked. Today I got the tune unlocked and they went back and hooked up the fans to PCM control with no further charge!

In addition, they left the fuse wire in so that If I wanted to run them off ignition I could just put the wire under the marked fuse and they will run when key is in on position. They said this could also help if I was ever running very hot and wanted the fans to stay on while driving!

Now they work to perfection!

GForce went above and beyond to help me, they are a great shop in the South Houston area. I highly recommend them.

Contact Mike Whitehouse if you need something for a TBSS as he is very familiar with our trucks. (gforcemike@gmail.com)

Wait, wait, wait.....

Sorry to change the subject but are you sure about the 384rwhp?

I have never seen a truck with just tune and Cai get over 35X rwhp in any weather with any dyno......

Catback won't really get you anything on these trucks from what I have seen.

Usually tune and cai will get you 335-345. I know some dyno's are loose but that just doesn't seem right. Most TBSS with cam, headers, cai, and tune are just scraping into the 380's with stock converter, and even lower with a high stall.

Mine with a CAI and tune laid down 340 and that was good numbers.

Where there any other mods? like a 50shot?

- Mark

They are very very good down there but 40 more hp from a tune than anyone else is beyond remarkable!

G-force dyno is defiantly not lose! Ive dynoed at 3 other shops and g-force was my lowest numbers. It stingy but who care about dyno number's there for tunning purposes anyways if you want to test your car test it at the track. G-force is a badass shop wish they could tune my jeep!

I didn't say it was loose, 2 Slow implied that.

I was merely in shock as a member of TBSSowners.com, I have seen a ton of dyno sheets of 2wd trucks with CAI and tune. I have never seen one break past 355! No cats would help some, but even good headers with no cats with cai and tune usually sits in the 355-365 range.

Many guys with headers, cam, CAI, tune, UDP cannot get to 380's (usually these cars are with bigger converters but still!)

One guy, who also went to gforce, made 383 but he had full exhaust, cam, cai, rockers, UDP, efans, the list goes on.

I am not saying hes a liar... but if its true that CAI/Tune got 380+ his truck is a freak or it accidentally had an LS3 in it!

I thought the 384 was a mistype when I saw it. Our tb has kooks lts and o/r y, ls1 efans, pullies, cai, and tuned of coarse. Now granted ours was run with the 22s but still plenty of more mods and quite a bit shy of the 380s. I'd start looking for that sneaky pete bottle hidden somewhere.

You got any times with that TBSS with 380? That thing must be in the mid 12's!

I think you may have a freak on your hands, it does happen! There is a guy with just a H/C package (no FI or N2O) on TBSSowners.com running 12.2x and that is amazing, his truck is a freak!

I just retuned my car with a new clutch and I made 544 RWHP!!!

Not to shabby for a stingy dyno.

lol man i agree with you i think we had a freak on our hands aswell but it did lay down 384 rwhp on just a tune cai cat back and gutted cats ( i gutted them) i was there and we do have the dyno sheet to prove it.... we were the first tbss that g force had tuned/ modded and trust me we didnt think it would lay down more than 330 but it did i dont know how but it did......g-forces dyno is NOT LOOSE and yes once again g-force is a outstanding shop and crew and personally i will not let anyone else touch my vehicles........
