I have installed a Airaid cold air intake system and have a SCT tunner installed. I also have a full 4" exhaust to the cat and 5" back from there. I have my boost gauge and pryo gauge installed inside to keep a eye on everything. I have had the EGR deleted. I drive this truck everyday and I am planning on getting a pull-a-long camper here the near future so I do want to get to radical. My shop that has done some of the work has a dyno and put my horsepower at 430 rwhp and I was told about 500 at the crank. I would like to take it down the drag strip in the spring just to see what it will do just for fun, but this truck is going to be my daily driver and never a full time sled puller or drag racer. Any thoughts would be fun. Thanks

 

HPOP and fuel pressure gauges, coolant filter. Doing 4" to the cat and 5" after doesn't benefit any more than 4" all the way, or really even much more than stock since it chokes down to to stock for the cat. If you end up doing a 4" full straight pipe, let me know if you wanna get rid of that cat.

 

I know the exhaust doesn't do much going from 4" to the cat and then back to 5" after the cat. I had a Banks 4" exhaust from the turbo back on the truck before. I wanted a larger exhaust tip and wanted it to look natural. That's why I went with the 5" exhaust from the cat back and have a 5 to 6" tip and it looks good. As far as getting rid of the cat I am going to keep it for now.

 

No worries, if you hear of anybody looking to rid their garage of one, post it up, the one that I use for my bi-annual inspection is leaving me (buddy is moving back home, his cat)

 

Don't stand on the loud pedal below 190*.

I just installed a ScanGaugeII, it monitors quite a bit of stuff and only ran a buck and a half.

You're gonna run a 14 sec quarter mile if you do a boosted 4HI launch. I launched at 12psi once, ran 14.48 on a 4000ft elevation track. A 2HI launch is a waste of time, tire smoke city!

I also have a string of 2nd and 3rd place finishes in truck pulls.
