Rob has learned his lesson.
He won't go out and dyno with full NOS
And tell everyone about it,
becuase his arch enemy Fast gator,
Will see and sell his kidney to make more power to win.

So with this said:
I think Rob will be very conservative on his power,
and his true NOS potential /tune.


PS: did my text format look like robs?lol

WOO HOO THANKS EVERYONE
I'm like a frigging kid in a candy store tonight : o)
Just took a niiiiiiiiiiiice ride, and wow is all I can say.
AMAZING JOB SAL, SIMPLY AWESOME is all I can say

It's 30 degree's out there and I know I have less traction
when cold, but "Oh My ****** Gator" is all I can say. 1/4
throttle is like constant tire spinning straight into and
through 2nd, WOO HOO
Squiglys down the road, and lots of smile ; o )
I cant wait to go 1/2 throttle tommorrow, hehehehehe

@ 30 miles on it today between me and Sal's test ride : o )

Ok Fast version and answers
(getting late, got to get up in 4 hours)

We're using a Maf Extender, it's wired in but we have the
jumper in right now and will simply plug it in the day we
REALLY TUNE IT

Currently using a PSP Chip Master Revolution, and also
have the identical tune on the SCT chip
(not sure which one I want to use yet, hehehehe)



We honestly DO NOT have any numbers, and it hasn't
been on the Dyno YET. We truly are going to put hundreds
of miles on it, BEFORE it goes on the Dyno.

As for the Nitrous
Got my 2nd tank just today from Brown, new Gauge, and
getting ready to mount that bad *** bracket.
I got everything I need except the new Race Tested Plate
Denny had made for us to test (may be another couple of
weeks)

As for numbers, we truly are only initially shooting for 500
off spray, then I'll be using 150 HP n20 Jets, : o )

We will step it up in time, but my goals are simple,
easy 11's off spray, and chasing the dream on : o )

As for the exhaust, only time will tell
It's surly not loud, but does have a unique sound when
you press down a bit. I need more time and more throttle
to REALLY hear it.

But Got Dam do I have boost, I have no idea how much,
but I would imagine with a 8lb lower, 3 lb upper, the Magnum Powers S/C and Idler Bracket, I should be 18-20. Dam I need
a gauge NOW. The SOB goes totally off the scale at 1/4 throttle, WOO WOO WOO...

night, and THANKS ALL....................

I'm running long tubes and high flow cats with the stock cat-back, and love the sound. It's a little louder than stock, with a nice rumble at cruise.

Rob, all I have to say is that you and Metric Sal are a bunch of f-in liers. You can`t tell us that the truck has not been on the dyno yet. Metric Sal puts everything on the dyno including the office chair. Okay, I know there is some fine tuning to be done but you should at least have a base number to give us. I HATE SECRETS!!

I`m jelous

What Builder do you know that swings by your Job to show you
"Your New Lightning". Of course I wasn't there (&@$%*@(^$(*@$#%*@^$
but everyone else got to see it (LOL)

(was on one of my late lunches, oops.... sorry Sal)

WOW does it feel GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT to
be back in the saddle. AND MAN OH MAN DOES THAT SADDLE
FEEL LIKE IT'S MOUNTED ON A WHOLE NEW HORSE, WOO HOO....................

Hats off to Sal and PSP, this thing has far past all my
expectations already, (Bow) (Bow) (Bow)

You can not tell the motor was ever out (Thumbs Up) Rob congrats are in order i am sure SAL did you a good job. Rob about the exhaust some think a loud exhaust makes horsepower not so i like a mild sounding exhaust tom

The frigging thing idles UNBELIEVABLY SMOOOOOTH
(Thumbs Up)
(idling at 500 RPM smoother than I have ever felt it before)

The Power is just like WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
(1/4 throttle and it's all over the road) (Thumbs Up)

The Magnum Powers is just music to my ears,
YOUR A GENIUS CHARLES, this S/C is just simply amazing,
(Bow) (Bow) (Bow)
The Sound, the Power, the sound, the response, the
sound, the torque, the sound. HOLY I NEED A NEW BOOST
GAUGE LIKE TOMMORROW BATMAN......
AND EAR PLUGS : o )
Finally I got to actually drive and hear it, and man oh
man is the difference night and day, WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
My Hats off to you Charles, Magnum Powers ROCKS
(Thumbs Up) (Thumbs Up) (Thumbs Up)
(cant wait for the first WOT, WOO WOO WOO WOO)

As for this Factory Tech Forged Billet Total Domination
Converter OH YA, THIS IS THE REAL DEAL BABY
(Thumbs Up) (Thumbs Up) (Thumbs Up)
WOW is this a whole new experience ; o )
It's a totally new truck, and driving it is a totally new feel,
I LOVE IT.
THANK YOU GREGG, THIS IS WAY MORE THAN MY WILDEST EXPECTATIONS,
Woo Hoo.........
And wow does this converter work exactly as stated,
even in ice cold 30 degree out there, (on bald F-1's) I was actually able to stall it to over 2500 RPM.
WOW THIS GOING TO BE AWESOME

Now the REAL SHOCKER
The frigging exhaust is soooooooooooooooo quiet, "you
would not belive it" The Bad Boy PSP Custom Headers are
going into Custom Made Hi Flow Cats, 3" x 2-1/2" and then
back into the STOCK Cat Back. ""YES STOCK""

WOW DOES THIS MAKE FOR ONE AMAZING EXHAUST SYSTEM
You can totally enjoy the whine of the Magnum
(and we all know I Looooooooooooooove my Whine, AND
NOW IMPROVED)
And even when you hit it, it's just this great sound that
I'm never quite heard before. So so much quiter than I
expected, AND WOW IS THAT A RELIEF.

AMAZING JOB SAL, THIS WAS A VERY DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE

Thank You Sal
Thank You Denny
Thank You Charles
Thank You Gregg

Now I have to shut up, post a few Pictures
AND GO FOR ANOTHER RIDE.............................................

Hey Rob, congrats on getting your truck up and running Take it easy on breaking in that new motor.
Mines been home for 2 weeks now, and the motor is ready to come off the 12 degee break-in tune. I would have posted pics, but didn't have any of me putting gas in the truck, putting new wiper blades on it, or airing the tires

Sure hope you get everything ready by the 16th of April. I wanna see if that truck of yours can cash the check that your big mouth has been writing
