Ok, I have installed the Precision 74GTS off my Blazer on this truck. I put a .96 housing on the 74mm (the 67mm had a .81) I am now running it at 10 psi vs 6ish with the smaller turbo. Going to the dyno tomorrow-anyone care to make a guess what it should make?

I thought the shaky line on the dyno graph indicated valve float or valvetrain instability?

Well, it made 422 horsepower and 451 torque. Graph is even shakier now and it still nosedives way before it should. Dyno operator thinks the valvesprings are weak. I think its a combination of valvesprings, the "all terrain" tires, and the tune.

The next step is to put some 317 heads on to lower the compression a bit. I will do some good springs at that time. In the meantime I am planning on getting the tune in better shape....

congrats on the new power... if the turbo didn't change anything, then I would agree its probably the valve springs...
