Pretty impressed. It made 377 410 at 6psi.
Turbociv still has the best dyno and rates around.
Nice!
good stuff. cant wait to see some track times this summer with the changes :tup:
question, maybe you would know…would putting a higher stall tq converter reduce towability?
i may have to boost my truck when warrenty is over. 450+ at the wheels on stock motor at 6psi.
Most people that turbo trucks like ours get convertors to go faster not tow. A 3k stall 10.5 cov will not like towing lol
I think I heard/saw this on NFB the other day. I heard a BOV, loud engine and then they pushed the throttle hard to make a light. It sounded fantastic!
I’m on nfb everyday. :). Mighta been me
Wow thats awesome!
damn that sucks i tow all the time lol…i take it thats why you havent yet?
Ehh. I’m willing to bet the 1000 dollar 3k stall billet multi disk convertor will work for the 45 min easy 55 mph tow to NYI. Remember the cars I tow are around 3k lbs and the trailers are light and around 1400.
I won’t be towing 6k lb monster trucks on 2 hour trips anymore

I towed a few cars around after my kit and I can stay outta boost w no prob.
I would run a 2nd tranny cooler just to be safe. I’d leave the dash display on the tranny temp. Towing out to Kentucky in the 90 degree heat, my tranny got up to 195 a few times in the hills. I couldn’t imagine what it would do revving 1000 rpm higher in those hills. If it hits 230 it will not be happy. A straight shot on the flat thruway to NYI would probably not effect it too much, but anything else would really push it.
I put a tru cool 40k cooler on mine a couple months ago. For the winter I left it going through the stock rad cooler.
Tranny - radiator - tru cool - back to tranny
This has kept it at 100 degrees in the winter. I haven’t REALLY towed anything since the cooler.
When spring comes ill bypass the rad and go from Trans to cooler and back to Trans. This should help a ton compared to the stock 4" x 6" cooler these trucks come with. I’ve seen guys double the coolers ( loop the outlet of the first cooler into the inlet of the 2nd cooler) on these just because, the coolers are cheap and might be worth it. Only prob I am having is that I’m running out of room behind the grille and before the rad. I have rad, condensor, power steering cooler, Trans cooler, and fmic in there. I mounted the cooler with enough flow through and around it but I would have to move some stuff around to get another cooler in there. Either it be for oil or tranny.
If it was an issue you could always upgrade to a cooler with a fan.
They have those?

The other thing is how often is your convertor not locked up while your towing anyways?
Between here and NYI its pretty flat if you’re towing in PA its entirely different story
Dude. I know they have fans on coolers. Lol. Ur loosing ur edge
That would be a last resort for me. They work great but are pricey. If I do any heavy towing ill use joelsters pos. or joes
Just make sure you return the favor and bring it back damaged.
I wasn’t sure if you were trolling or not i let my guard down lol
wait, so youre making the truck you have to do work, less capable of doing work just so its quicker? so youll be borrowing a truck to do work even though you already have a truck? this makes no sense to me. you shouldve bought a hemi instead so you wouldnt have to go through all of this 
if you need space to mount a second tranny cooler, can you mount it behind the bumper / under radiator support? im not sure how much air will wrap up behind the bottom from the bumper though…i just remember seeing alot of dirt cars that had no vents in front bumper and all cooling air to the radiator came up through bottom of bumper, and it worked well for them.
what are acceptable transmission temps? im not familiar with autos, always been a manual guy. my buddies 5.3 towing the sled trailer usually sits about 195 on the transmission temp
