Congrats Dave! Your truck is freakin ridiculous... Any word on RWHP numbers?

nope not yet tyler... we had it at magnuson on their dyno and on the first pass at 2/3 throttle it ramped so hard and fast it broke a dyno strap (metal part) at 2800 rpm @650 ft lbs, without any timing advance or any real tweaking to the tune...

I need to get it on a better dyno and get the tune dialed... kenny dutweiler built a similar LSX motor with the same SC and at 14psi he made 960hp to the crank... I am running more boost and more fuel (meth) so I am hoping for 1k at the crank... through my 80e and drivetrain I think 750rwhp is obtainable, maybe more?

Im still breaking in the engine, its got maybe 400 miles on the block? the tune on it now is very tame, and very rich - i hope to get 600 miles on it before the final tune is complete. I will post final numbers and a dyno graph when i get it done.

Holy Mother of God... Effing broke a strap??? I can do that too...when trying to rip out a stump with my 3500 Cummins work truck...

Wow man--I hope you do end up hitting that magical 1k mark. With it being SC, how do you anticipate the RWTQ numbers to be??? What rearend did you end up going with?

Good call--it is a fine idea to get 1,000 to 1,500 miles of break in done before really opening it up. I know it will be hard, but keep your tiny little girl foot off the GO pedal a little while longer...

In any case--congrats on the final product! Looks awesome and I am sure it will run even better.
