    Picked up another rifle

    Well, I don't plan on any competition shooting. Just blowing things up out in the desert with the occasional 600+ yard shot. This Fullfield had great reviews for a budget 50 scope. Can't go wrong for $224. The rings though, I bought nice rings. Nice rings make all the difference. I only put...

    Question: What's the most hp made on s400 frame turbo?

    Exactly where I was going with my original comment. An s478 is not going to make 1000+hp on a diesel.

    Question: What's the most hp made on s400 frame turbo?

    Define s400... You can go as small as 64mm all the way to 88mm with several different compressor covers and turbine options.

    Thank you to all the UPS/FedEx personnel

    I will say though, I ordered 100 rounds of .50bmg ammo for my gun and the only option for shipping was UPS. I set it up to be held at the local distribution center for me to pickup rather than be delivered. That showed up on time, in perfect condition with me being in/out in under 10 minutes. I...

    Thank you to all the UPS/FedEx personnel

    UPS has screwed me over in so many ways possible, I have not shipped a package with them in probably 3 years and I try to avoid having a package delivered to me from them as well. 2nd day air to them means 7 days late for me even though they told me that it is a guaranteed service. Not to...

    Name That Turbo!

    I can tell you right now that thing is not an 88mm inducer. From your tape measure, you can see it is around 72mm-75mm. And the turbine also looks to be around 85-90mm. The specs you found are not right.

    Garrett tv7301

    TV series are old, I'm not even sure they use inconel turbine wheels. TV series chargers are not meant for making alot of power, 83mm turbine on an atmosphere turbo is way to small for a functional set of compounds.

    06 Duramax shift inhibited

    All you're doing is guessing what his issues is. No point in suggesting a fix without know what codes it's throwing.

    2nd gear start tcm tune

    That's insane. I never tried any 2nd gear start except for 1 or 2 right after I made the tune. My truck was violent with them, launch and all 4 would smoke and the truck was all over the road. I went back to 1st gear starts after about 2 launches. My truck never 60' that good. I cut 1.78...

    It's not fast enough to scare anyone lol. I got this flowmaster for cheap, brand new. But after buying it, I realized it not the greatest.

    Long tube headers, no cats with a flowmaster super 44 cat back setup. I don't really like the flaw master though. I want something that exits behind the rear tire.

    That gasser life

    Still has stock injectors and running the old tunes. The stock 5.3 injectors are only 24lb/hr. They're maxed out around 320whp. I have a set of 47lb/hr injectors to go in when it gets tuned. So it's definitely down on power right now, but even so, it is making alot more power than the 5.3 was...

    Ls3 heads have square ports. I'd need all new intake parts. Cam is 224/224 @ .050", .600" gross lift with a 112LSA.
