Nice! I just ordered some ARP head studs with HG kit. Idk much about the CP3s, just started reading about em, i'm sure some of the other fellas on here will chime in on that!
let me know how it goes when you do your HG and studs.. it doesn't look fun haha.
the only thing I really know about the double CP3s are that it splits the work load in half and if the main CP3 does fail the secondary one will then continue to work but will have all the work load. hopefully someone can expand on it more.
im running his custom ones so I have optimum stock, heavy tow, light tow, economy, and race tune.
I wish I could but my wallet just is not there to support me for all that haha. Plus The way my luck is going lately I just hope that the ones I got will still be good to go haha
I've been running it on tune 4 which is 90 or 100hp plus. So around 450-60ish? The kicker is I've only put 3k on it since buying :/ guess that's what I get for buying a tuned truck. It's ok tho, she'll be good for more hp now haha
dang. That's just rolling on it on the econo tune? she must boogie when you turn her up. Looks like you'd be doing more spinning if you were hammering on her haha.
and hot dam does she whistle on that high idle! I want one right now! haha.
Would deff like to see her in action on some hot tunes oke[1]: :drink
Yeah I cant really get on it anymore because the roads are always coverd in snow and ice so it spins even worse. I only put it on my hot tune once so far and it spun tires in every gear going down the road.
haha I had it on high idle outside of the grocery store the other day and I got a lot of looks from people :rofl
haha i'm sure! same with me up here, gotta be easy on the skinny pedal otherwise shes blowing sideways, I also get better MPGs on my hot tune than I do econo.
oh I don't doubt it. Mine whistles pretty good through the stack and I get looks from people in parking lots and what not lol. I could only imagine how loud that turbo would be with my setup :O cant wait to find out! And I bet it sounds WAY better in person. Almost ear piercing on the video haha
yea somedays its almost too much for me. But when I crack on it, the sound, ah, its music to my ears haha. your head would literally be shaking inside if you had one on yours lol. I'm scared that one day when i'm feeding it to her that she is going to crack the back window lol
Haha that's awesome. I'm torn between saving up for the turbo or a trans...guess it would be smarter to have the trans done first but...sometimes my temptations get the best of me.
How do you like the FASS? pretty quiet? prolly cant hear it over the turbo though haha
I was going to put my trans in first but I got the p003a and p2563 codes and so I put a new vane position sensor in and tried cleaning the turbo and go the turbo relearned and still couldn't fix it. i kept getting the codes. it was idling like a lb7 all the time and it lugged around so I just said F it and put the new turbo in.
love the fass even when i didn't have the turbo o it wasn't that loud. a kid i know has a AD2 and he hasn't had problems with it but its a lot louder than my fass and he has a cat stack on his truck and you can still hear it
Good to know. I'm probably going to go with the FASS..I got the low rail code, gotta do the bottle test once I bring her back to life...then time to spend more money haha
here is my street tune 0 to 110. I cant get any traction off the start ever. I think I need to add weight to the back
