    Best Mileage Turbo

    The difference in fuel econ savings between a journal and ball bearing will be so small it will fall within the standard deviation and not be seen.... If you do lots of highway driving you will want something with as lose as an AR that will provide the engine with enough air to maintain a good...

    Best Mileage Turbo

    It would be twins, don't need the fueling (smoke is wasted fuel) to get on top of the charger and at low power levels. Doesn't add that much back pressure. Really if you want to change something I would say put a bypass on the IC so it goes straight to your engine, but then you will have EGT...

    Allison 5sp: Lb7: 37 tires and 3.73's

    I meant on a 400ish HP tune, but yea I should have been clear about that. Never know who will miss read one of these threads... Really as long as you don't get greedy the stock turbo will do just fine-but if you do upgrade your air system I would go twins since it might be a pita to stay on...

    Allison 5sp: Lb7: 37 tires and 3.73's

    I mean, we all know low gearing is just a cover up for a weak engine :D No but really, with 35s I wouldn't change the gearing. With 37s and a stockish tune I would think about changing the gearing. JMHO-if you have a built trans and if you tow a lot twins; the truck will do just fine with...

    Allison 5sp: Lb7: 37 tires and 3.73's

    I never had an issue when I was running 37s :D Did notice a little bit when I dropped back to 35s but I just had to feather the pedal more If your truck pulls ok though the gears then I wouldn't mess with it. drag racers gear the truck to be at the top of the power band at the traps. If your...

    limiting straps

    I was afraid of the qa1s b/c I hear they don't last a long time on a heavy truck that sees some off road, but they are by far the best for the track (can control both extension and compression separately) I run the rancho 9000

    One battery. Pros and cons

    right behind the pass side tire on the frame rail. There is more cable up there than you think just have to reroute it

    limiting straps

    My front tires spin too. Chaining isn't going to help that. You want the suspension to flow to help keep pressure on the tires. Shocks slow and smooth the action (and allow the suspension to store the energy for a very small amount of time in the form of extension). you want to control and...

    limiting straps

    I ran straps for a while, but now I just have the Tbars cranked all the way down and good shocks up there. no issues even launching with 37s. IMHO straps/chains on a track truck are a band aid that is covering up a bad setup
