I rest my case [emoji2957]

Lol,

We'll see what it does. I am so happy with the performance of this tank that as Brett and I mess around with e-blends, it's just for fun. It will be to learn more than anything else.

I truly think that if this truck were to make much more power than it does, I'm in for a trans upgrade in the very near future. I don't want to go down that path (again) of bouncing from one weak point to the next.

This is meant to be a fun adventure truck. It checks all those boxes as it sits.

I could put down 600whp and there are still folks on here that would say "is that it?!?!?".

I don't know what to say. Lol

No matter "the numbers" you get, the conversation will change. And no putting the cat back in the bag.

I know measuring is a requirement for development. And worthy, I admit. So are you not finished developing?

Just know this: I like your truck no matter what number it produces. But that's because you have me convinced that you love the way it runs.

Will you change how you feel if it lays down

398 RWHP?
415 RWHP?
433 RWHP?
451 RWHP?

See? I could keep adding numbers and each increase raises the excitement level. But, at the same time increases the disappointment of the lesser potential numbers.

In fact, I'd argue that just randomly typing numbers as I did, ALREADY opens the bag of worms. Lol

I'll delete this post if it causes the least anxiety. ;)

Seriously, it's just a number to peg a percentage gain over my first number with a "GT" only truck on the SAME dyno. The shop actually called me up today to ask how things were going and if I wanted to run it again. I think they are just as curious as me. The owner didn't say it, but indicated that the dyno was open tomorrow and this may be a "discounted" visit. I'll be bringing some beer...

Folks will always want to compare to others numbers and debate the "value" you got for the money spent. It's just the nature of the beast. I have no issues being transparent about my truck. I'm seriously happy with the outcome and knowing I'm not in a payment or modifying something that I don't "own", puts a smile on my face.

Who knows, maybe this helps someone decide that they want to go down a similar path, or down a road more traveled.

OK, great response. I believe you.

Or put another way, I'm convinced that you aren't vulnerable to the number-smack. :)

If you remember, I dyno'd my truck with same day-same dyno runs early on to "transparently" post what real world gains were for Gen2 OEM tune VS a couple of brand-name tunes.

Considerably less smack-risky since there was almost zero co$t involved.

Ironically, it kinda backfired on ME!

Verifying that I was blessed to be running around in an Aluminum Truck (lighter) putting down well north of 400 RWHP resulted in me being far more content than I predicted.

"Contentment" is the anecdote for this crazy never-satisfied world. Lol

How can you not smile at this!
Max psi on the Dyno was 16.8 (pulls a solid 18 on the street)
3657ft of altitude
E20
473whp was hitting MBT. We added one degree and it lost almost 10whp.

Look at that Torque!!!

Let’s put this in perspective, same Dyno stock motor and ONLY GTs and a tune netted 349/480.

That’s a 124WHP GAIN over a already tuned truck with upgraded turbos and ran MORE psi.

Dyno operator says on his Dyno they put down roughly 280whp stock. I’ve gained close to 200whp over stock or %60 gain in HP. Pretty wicked.

Love this!!! These numbers are outstanding for the altitude, and I'm glad to know you had something to base this off, so we have a delta between the old set up and now. Very happy for you Ryan!!!
 
That is a great torque curve and the power climbs to redline. I would have thought you would see more power, but i forget you're at such high altitude.

With that power and being a turbo car at altitude, you could really hurt a lot of peoples feelings.
 
Dang!

Double Dang!

You know my favorite thing about this?
You're unique setup. The altered recipe.

Also love the fact that MORE boost isn't the only way to skin the cat. :)

Holy moly that's impressive! Were you running the same boost as the GTs? Is there room for more power? This is getting me pumped for when mine comes back! We need to see more of these dyno pulls Ryan!

Well, I don’t think I’ll be recommending Pro-Comp Add-a-leafs to anyone.

Had to do a very quick swap back to the stock set up after finding this today.

We were hitting 18.5psi on the Dyno with the GTs. These were hitting 16.8psi. So less boost on the “HO” turbos if you’re comparing Dyno runs. It hits 18psi all day long on the street, so should be making more real-world horsepower than the Dyno indicates.

If we get the tune adjusted for e30, I think that’s about it. There may be another 20ish hrspwrs more in it with tuning.

I have a suspicion that something is limiting us to 18psi that can be sorted out. But honestly, the truck works great and I am not gonna push to make any more power. I’ll get some nicely machined waste Gate mounts so they have a straight shot and the turbine housings and may update the strategy just to see if we are hitting some kind of limit with my current strategy.

Yeah, Obviously everyone loves to see a high number, but when you looks at the gains, it’s pretty darn good.

Do one of those altitude conversions, it would be making a lot of power closer to sea level. As I said though, any car where you are, even a big cubic inch engines (n/a) will be dragging an anchor vs you.

Procomp, not made in USA? That is junk. Make sure you tell them
