killed a turbo truck

[Defunct SO]

We were putting a few miles on a truck at the customers request and I just happened to be leaving the shop in my '92. Wasnt really planning on anything, but eariler, Dustin was giving me hell about it being faster than mine.
Well, it wasnt. We did several little runs; one from about 20 to 80 and the result was the same; I would pull him w/o much of a problem. I let him stall into boost (6psi) once, and I still pulled him while spinning.
Now for the part that makes it less impressive. It was a very low compression (8.0:1) 370 in a 1500HD crew cab only running 6psi. My truck is about 1600lbs lighter.
If I had that motor in my truck, I'd run 18psi with the low compression.
It was nice to have something to run though.

dude...he needs to UP tha boost bad&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

He pulls 13,000lbs with it and wanted that way.

[bud8fan]

oh...thats another story then...never mind.......

[speedaddict]

with his compression so low and low on boost, its more like you beat an almost stock truck

[Defunct SO]

thats why I said "now for the part that makes it less impressive".
Dont get me wrong, the turbo is pretty quick for the size. The truck runs less than 9.0 in the 1/8th.
We are shortly pulling the motor out of my truck to do the turbo and forged motor, but I would like to see what it will do at least once.
It would be so much better without the 3:08s, but it is still quick.

Yeah, get some numbers at Kennedale before you pull your current 5.3L apart for the STS buildup.
