Reading what people say about how L perform better in cold weather made me wonder why and how. Well now I know, at least why.

On the way home from work tonight, I was turning on to the road that leads to my house. Its completely stright for a little ways so I thought I'd floor it to just for the fun of it. It was 11:30 p.m. and a frosty 30. Well, it kicked down to 1st and boost went to 8 psi, then it hit second and as the rpms went up I saw the boost go up. At the top of second gear, the gauge hit 10 psi. I quickly let off the gas and creamed my pants. I cannot believe my L hit 10 pounds of boost. The truck is bone stock , still has the paper air filter.

L's Rock!!!!

 

Dude unplug your boost-bypass and you will get 10 PSI ever time..... And yes it's the best damb feeling in the world....... Well 2nd best... If your not looking for a Intake get a K&N drop in... I hate those paper filter's.... Good luck with your truck color man

 

 

Note to self..... Dont post drunk......

 

Perhaps it time for you to go to bed, drunken master.



Back to the L. I plan on getting the Airaid intake for my L, then a JDM singal blade T/B. I have the money but don't know where to get the intake from. That should help the S/C intake air better.

Now about that boost bypass, will the truck stay in boost all the time. Like driving on the interstate at 80 with the rpms at about 2500rpm. Iv seen my truck make 5 psi at that rpm in 4th with out shifting down. So hows this work?


Please no drunks.

 

hahaha, u so read my mind on this post topic, i went out for a little spin tonight, it was 54 degrees and boy was my baby running fast, cant wait to take her to the track to see what she runs in these cold temps. Hopefully better than my 14.1 @ 99.5mph

 

So you like the Cold Air do you Big Man
AINT IT FUN

 

Dude, don't waste $450 on a T/B yet! Very minimal gains from it itself. It will provide you with more gain after you are modded. It's fairly salty in price and you will not see any gain in your ET...maybe like 1/2 a tenth. Once you are modded tho (chip, pulley, etc) and then put the single blade on, you will reap a much larger benefit

 

LOL Rob....I'm almost on that spot on the gauge with just my freshly installed 4# !

 

For the first time I too, felt the difference. Holy Smokes - took my L out this morning the outside temp gauge read 61 degrees (I know that sounds funny, but hey that is cool here in the tropics). What a difference, I couldn't believe it. I thought everyone was exaggerating about the cooler weather and the power difference. It was as if I added another couple pounds of boost. And call me crazy, but she just rocked out of the hole - there I go again having to learn to feather in cold weather.

Awesome!

True that man. Get a 6#'er and experience a greater effect ALL the time. Then, wait till it gets cold. Holy chit!!! Oh wait, cold is 50 degrees for me. I couldn't image 30. I may just have to go to an 8#'er better yet KB!

Now that the room is not spining !!! Big man if your looking into a T/B the Accu-Fab S/B Throttle Body is the best priced.... Not shure where to get it i had Babolts.... I had to spend more $$ like a mod *****... Good luck and keep her clean !

 

Hell yes cold weather is the *****.

 

you can order the air raid intake from Troyer performannce.....go to troyerperformance.com I believe.....l dont know the price, but I know they sell it.....I myself am very very pleased w/ my JLP Ram Air

The purpose of the boost bypass kit is to supply continuous boost from your sc when exceeding acceleration limits set by the factory computer (ie WOT). When acceleration exceeds factory limits, the boost actuator solenoid actuates the boost dump valve, relieving the sc's pressure until your L is shut down and restarted. The boost bypass mod will allow you to keep boost at the maximum level under WOT....hope this helps
