This thread shoud be a sticky thread at the top. Look at how many people are watching it all the time.

Way to go Shock!!!!!!! Very impressive.

 

Very nice

Only issue I could see is if the MAF was in a location that has a bend or turbulence in front of it. Which could be the case if it's coming out of the intercooler. Might consider having it placed in the middle of that long straight pipe before the TB. Just something that could cause tuning problems in the future.

 

Thanks Casey. The MAF is actually about 6" away from the outlet of the IC through a straight pipe, so it shouldn't be a problem. They have done numerous blow through MAF setups that had the MAF as close if not a little closer than that to the IC and said it's not a problem. It only becomes an issue if you come right off of a bend into the MAF. I plan on totally doing away with the MAF (and converting to a speed density setup) before the end of the year, so I wanted it in a spot that wouldn't be seen once I take it out and put in a patch pipe.

 

That will work great if you have that much pipe in front of it. Just couldn't tell from the picture. I wanna be doing the same thing very soon, but with a big single turbol

 

T88 maybe ?

I was telling the guys at the shop today I would be extremely happy with 650 RWHP at 10psi on pump gas. They laughed at me and said it shouldn't take that much boost to get 650 with my setup. Here's to hoping/wishing they are right.

 

I was thinking about a T76gts, but who knows when the time comes. I'm about sick of the blower thing.

 

Will the duct tape hold up to 10 psi? J/K This whole project is sweet. I wish Hellion made a Lightning kit. Good luck.

 

ST, I don't think this is the forum to discuss that,

Bro, it's getting sweeter by the day, SIMPLY AWESOME

 

me too

 

Wouldn't a rear exit I/C been a better choice over the down exit? Less turns and bends.

 

Im going to check the truck in person today and see the progress. Gotta swap my mafia for the sct maf.

 

dear god, i thought i was addicted. THIS MAN NEEDS URGENT TREATMENT!! im not even cloose to sure but that looks like a good $15,000 - 20,000 chillin under the hood. what kind of numbers do you think you'll get? 800hp / 900tq?


edit: id like to add that ive come to the conclusion that having enough torque to pull the skin of the earth measurably tighter when you stomp on the gas is ok.

 

lol, yeah, i'm a sick individual who needs some kind of serious treatment. I can tell you this much. If you dropped a stock L off at your favorite tuner shop and had them do everything I am doing, I guarantee it would run 25 to 30k for all the parts and labor.

Numbers? well....I will be VERY happy if I get 650RWHP at 10psi on pump gas, and 800 either on a pump gas or race tune about 16-17 psi. With my 60lb injectors I figure I will have to run a tune where I up the base fuel pressure about 10psi to hit 800.

 

let me know when you get that baby going full bore. maybe i'll throw a yardstick on the ground and wait for it.

 

This has to be the best setup I have seen done in awhile...


Any new updates?
