I dont buy the weight, maybe a faulty scale. I weighed an 05 awd ss at 5500 even. Thats with bed liner and carpet, bed cover, hitch, 22 inch wheels (heaviest dam things on the planet) 31.5 inch tires, with my turbo system, intercooler, water meth.

No doubt still very very impressive though, cause even if its off a couple hundered pounds its still heavy and thats still very very quick.

I have weighed more then one of these trucks. I have worked on a ton of them. I have run out of room on my two hads to count the number of these trucks I have worked on. This one is the second in line for porkers. I had one that was 59 and some change before. Also I have had stockers come in at 54 and change with a 1/4 tank of fuel. I could get this one down there by taking the stereo and stuff. I probably wont though.

As for the 17psi on 93oct.....LOTS OF METH! lol. I might put some race gas in it this time out too. I was at 11 degrees advanvce at torque peak and 13 at the shift.

That is the 1 pic I forgot to take. My A.D.D. got the better of me. We'll see if I can't get some pics sometime in the future. We're going to M12 on Saturday.

TC76 gave the ghost today.

DA was 3200, hot and muggy to say the least.

11.89@119 before failure.

JY motor 1, turbo 0.

turbonetics does all the warranty work themselves. They rebuilt mine in two weeks time. Quick turnaround.

Yes the warranty is handled by Turbonetics unless they are extremely backed up. If so they will send us the parts to rebuild for them.

Right I do not expect FI to fix it cause they did not build it. So its not their problem at all. If t-netics is backed up i would like FI to get it handled though and get the pig flying agian.
