Here's a shot of the kit on the truck.

Is that like a 369sxe over stock?

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

I've known the intercooler was the weak link, good thing I have an extra on the shelf ready for you! I will have our intercooler/passenger side plumbing ready for testing soon.

Agreed you can't just leave this here and never update

 

[joshd472]

Anymore updates on this?

Sorry guys we killed the motor & had to wait on parts to be developed so we can push this platform.We picked up a new crate engine from the dealership to build. We have Carrillo 2.8L rods on the shelf & a few other things ready. I will post up pics & info as we get into testing here. We plan to have a few built 2.8L motors running before the first of the year. It's tough when you can't jump on any website & order parts but rather wait for the entire R&D process to unfold.

I'll jump back in here when I have some useful info.

Thanks Aaron!

What failed on the motor? Curious what the stock engine could push at to know its limit before blowing up.

 

[Josh154]

I believe it was rod issues. I may be wrong though

Scott

is the intercooler aftermarket? The kit looks great! Nice work.


Is there any talk of a TQ converter being built for these trucks yet?

 

[sweetdiesel]

I suggest you upgrade the trans to a 6L80/90 while you're waiting on the turbos.

Mike,

you don't think the 6L50 can handle it? Even with line pressure upgrades and better converter?

What makes the 6L80 better? better clutches?

 

[NC-smokinlmm]

6l80 is good to 700 rwhp stock. I beat on mine daily and it just keeps asking for more. They are super strong stock, clutches and converter...

 

[sweetdiesel]

Thanks! There is a few parts out for the 6l50

Perhaps just switching to tje 6l80 would be better

Ill see if its the same bolt pattern

 

[JoshH]

6L90 is even stronger and only a tiny bit longer. Around here they're usually cheaper too, but maybe not in thigh-land.

 

[bristlepad]

You LS swap it?
