Higher RPM's with SuperChip
 
I just added my super chip today, and took it out for a spin!!! Wow, i can really notice the difference from stock. I noticed that when i get on it, the RPM's get well over 5K and into the red, so i let off. Since i didnt stay in it, i am not sure how long it stays in the red before the rpm's drop. Do i need to be careful or can i just run it like it wants to go?? I know our L's are made strong, i just dont want to cause any damage by driving it too hard( if that's possible!!! lol). I ran a 13.668 with just K&N last nite, today felt like it could go high 12's!!! Cant wait till next Weds. to go see!!! Greg

Most of the Tuners usually set the trucks to shift around 5500 rpms in their chip programs....

You can definately drive it too hard as you will se by all the blown motors around here lately. The rods are a week link.

Check my dyno sheet to see where mine starts dropping off.
