Hey Matt I wish you the best of luck and hope it’s not anything serious.!
the forum needs U up running ASAP!!!!
Good luck my friend.
It runs fine. I tested it today to see if it shifts from 3rd-4th gear and it was perfect. Definitely tune related.

YEAH!!!
No fluid issues.
so your revision corrected the issue?

ps: I think it was you that mentioned intake manifold pressures I was getting was low?
U was correct. I had a smoke test done. Multiple leaks.
Hot side discharge from fmic
Inlet to passenger side turbo
Outlet from passenger side turbo both clamps
Wep hole I drilled into plug of fmic. 3/32” I’ve since put 1/8” pipe and valve. For drainage.
Boost reference T from boost reference and to Bov. Other hose to meth boost gauge was good.
Now building 23 max on boost.
I’ll do another 3rd gear pull tomorrow to see what pressures read. I’ll send a pic of pull.

I also have never launched my truck are have done a 1/4 mile.
I have track addict on hp tuner but never used it.

Basically I have never lost to anyone that has challenged me on freeway.
race is usually over by the time I hit 100 mph.
3.31 gears 3rd gear hits 115mph. 2-5 truck links.

Glad to hear ur back on the road!!!!

Hey JasonMink! With the snow meth system with throttle block behind throttle body, there is a port for 2stage injection. The smoke machine has to exceed 20-23 psi.
I was at my mechanic shop and the Snap-On guy just happened to show up. Mechanic purchased a smoke machine for $110.00. Found 7 leaks.

If you remember I was only getting 47-48 pounds of manifold pressure, now I’m getting close to 60.
Did a pull today, these are the #’s.
93pr-x top line is tune I used.

Hey JasonMink some smoke machines could run a $1000. Or more but the $100. One worked great.
U will have to get some P-Diddy to make smoke
(Baby Oil) haha! U can also use your pvc port.
Also u will need to figure out a way that smoke doesn’t come out of your CAI. Block that off.
I have dual cone cai I put rags in both and held in tight. Also you can only run smoke for about 7.5 minutes. So have it all together first.

Good Luck my Friend, and I’ll see you on the Freeway!!!!!

Now is it time for for a transmission t-stat delete?
Please research this and see if it is a good fit for you.
I guarantee it’s your last transmission fluid change.
And throw a 20 row full race transmission cooler while you’re at it.
I have a Mishimoto trans cooler still im the box:ROFLMAO: I need to install it....

I’m not sure about ur year of truck? But u should have the option to run fluid through radiator or run external to radiator.
I have mine going into radiator first. I tried bypass the radiator it works fine, except during the winter I have a short drive to freeway and would not shift into final gear unless trans temp was above 104.
It well eventually comes up about 2miles at 60mph.

Not much of a current truck update. Haven’t gotten a new tune from Adam lately, he’s super busy.

Andrew at CRP sent me this picture today of my 5 blade 46/56mm compressor wheels. He’s going to build me a stage 5 set with these in them and then I’ll sell my stage 5s that are on the truck now. I reached out to @full-race geoff to see about Gen 3 manifolds to pair them with. We’ll see!

Hello Matt

Gonna be sounding amazing too. Yes Full-Race’s formline manifolds can really flow a lot of exhaust. I think they gain around 40hp
