Before anybody asks, it can do the same burnout without the smoke, but why would we if we have full control of the ecm:happy2:
I know I hate these tires! This will be the last stock turbo burnout this little guy gets to do. My twin kit ships next week. I'll post another video then that might be more to your liking

I heard Scott at SDP blew his up, testing different twin configs. Hopefully you don't do the same.
Yeah there is definitely risk involved with taking on a new platform. No one knows the limits until someone does the testing & finds them. We do our testing on our own trucks so the customer doesn't have to experience those things.
Well I'm still waiting on the twins to show up. I had the Canyon on the dyno playing with the tunes. We're so limited by the stock turbo it's crap. We were making roughly 200 HP keeping EGT's in check. So my buddy David walks up & suggests we ghetto fog it. I think it's safe to say we set some kind of record for the stock motor. Put down 419 HP with 629 Ft-lbs of torque
Didn't hurt the motor but we will refrain from spraying it this hard.

I bet it hauls some ass at 400hp lol

I suggest you upgrade the trans to a 6L80/90 while you're waiting on the turbos.
LOL I have to hurt something before it gets to come off. I'm not planning to push it like this until I get the twins on. Maybe I can match this number with fuel only & twins. Then we'll hurt the trans & build it.
The trans hasn't thrown any fits yet. I have felt it do something weird when lugging it hard with the tc unlocked but I'm thinking it's just blowing through the converter. I'll know what that is when something lets go.
I'm thinking next week. The kit has been ready but Scott used it on his mock up motor to display the setup at a few events. He made some improvements to the down pipe & is also designing an emissions present twin kit using those parts so I understand the delay.
It was only a partial kit then anyways, just the powdercoated stuff and the rest wasn't ready to go on a truck. It took a bit for us to get some of the right parts after testing and set things up perfectly, no rushing here.
I'm blown away at how quick they respond while being smokeless with Aaron's tuning and the twins, very fun truck to drive. Trans feels great up to 280hp/500tq, but more than that and the converter doesn't seem to be happy with the TQ.
The only hiccup so far is a hurt engine which we seem to have under control now, I dropped the engine off with Guy, can't wait to see what the future brings.
Now to get Aaron some more parts, already breaking stock stuff!
Yeah I've been too busy to get back on here. I got the twin kit on & first off fitment was perfect! There was not a single piece that could have fit better!
Drove around a few days on a tune that made 274 on the dyno. Made some more changes to the TCM tune. I've got it holding the torque a lot better. With a bit more testing I think we'll have a surprisingly strong transmission on our hands.
These trucks drive so nice with Scott's twin kit! It's a whole new animal when you can bring the power all the way through the rpm range. Now to the stock stuff we're already breaking, I blew up my intercooler Saturday morning on the dyno. This wouldn't bother me but I have more testing to do with the TCM tuning plus I was planning to take this thing down the track this coming weekend
I'm sure that nitrous pull the other day played a hand in shortening my intercooler's life lol
