that waste gate pipe is only 1 3/8" , i may not be able to control the boost with the cut out open. i will be turning the boost controler all the way down and opening the cut out to see where it goes, if it goes over 17psi then i may have a problem.

i am going to the track in kc on friday. i am no longer welcome at the local track till i get some safety equipment. i dont expect a new best or anything, still have lots to figure out. i might be hiting the dyno this weekend too but if not the next weekend for sure.

not sure what elbow you are asking about. the inlet is 5", the outlet is 3", the down pipe is 4". the 5" rubber elbow came with the original kit from cmotorsports and they made me the new down pipe too. there is no way a 5" will fit in there unless i just dump it by the tire.

Awesome..... Can't wait to see some video of the passes.

That is with a 5.3 liter truck intake manifold? Does the 6.0 liter differ?

Thinking about doing an LS1 swap into my '84 LandCruiser FJ60 with a 4L80E. No turbo though.

Sweet Mother of God. Would you see any benefit going to a LS6 or Holley intake manifold? I wonder if the FAST would handle that boost.
Still on stocK 6.0 heads?
That **** is awesome . I 'd like to have a truck like that only with a Richmond 6 speed manual swap .

i have the stock truck manifold and stock 6.0 heads. i hope to step up to some good heads before the year is over.

my bov is still opening right at the 2-3 shift. i tried the adjuster on it and it made no difference at all.

my min boost with the cut out closed is 15psi, and with it open it is 22psi , seems the waste gate really isn't large enough. i seem to be able to fuel it at 22psi so i think i will just work around it rather than fix it. maybe with more meth i will be ok at 22psi but if not then i will only open my cutout when i have good gas in there.

drag weeks sounds bad ***. i am going to try and do it.

For the PTE88 use the Progate. PTE will recommend the HKS GT more then likely. But you could buy almost 2 of any other gate on the market for the price of the GT...lol

ok, i am prety sure i am making more power than i was. i just broke my level 5 4l80. it sure felt good right up till it let go. my log file shows me hitting 7500rpm when it let go but everything seems to be fine. i have a lot of passes on this tranny and within a few runs with the new turbo it let go so i see that as progress in the power making goal.
