for one, i want to appoligize... im really new to the mod and hot rod world... before 6 months ago... all i knew how to do was change my own oil


anyway, u said something that caught my attention.... every morning i start my truck up for about 5 mins or so before I jump in and go... well it sits in my driveway that is slanted a little... and water drips out of my tailpipes.... well the water is BLACK!!!! no matter how much I clean them, they are black by the end of the day.... does that mean im rich or lean???

i just sent my chip to Sal at PSP and he reburned my chip last week..... i havent gone to dyno since I got it back, but I just figure he had it right on..... maybe I need more aggresive?? he said its 16' timing on my street program

 

Get a 160* thermostat and a flip chip. Have Sal give you a little more aggressive tune on side two that allows you to still run 93 octane. Next time his butt will be yours

i got a better launch each time....

how do I check my mass air??? is there a way to know if its working right???

 

i do have a psp flip chip, but side 2 is race gas... havent ever even used it yet...

i think ill do the 160' thermo this weekend though... its cheap and why not??

 

just emailed Sal and he wants me to get to the dyno obviously.... so im gonna try and get there today.... ill post the numbers when I get them

any other ideas though?

 

There are 100s of things it could be. However if you have a 4# lower and have a ported eaton? You ought to be seeing a minimum of 12 psi IMO. (assuming texas heat)

Up here in 40 degree weather I'm seeing a solid 16psi. (4# lower w/ported)

does anyone think the 3.73 - 3.55 gears is much of a differnce?

 

I've side by side with 99-00s and don't see any significant differance. Certianly not 2 truck lengths worth.

well im leaving right now to go get dynod.... ill post the chart when I return...

but lets say the power is there... im over 400hp.... what the heck would that mean??? what else could I be except the gears??? and why am I still only pushing 12 boost?

o well, ill be back in about 2 hours....

 

When you dyno it you will have all your answers very soon.

post results and the Air fuel ratio too.
