Why everyone against rpm?
What's the RPM at 115? Because that's where I would shift out at?
IIRC, 111mph with all three shifts around 3400-3500. Stock shift points. I'd have liked to try extending out the shifts to see if it helped, but never got around to it.
I look forward to the "ka-boom" video when that 72 and more fuel pop that LBZ.
No one is against RPM, only when guys want to raise RPM yet the current RPM they are shifting at is already past peak HP.
My stock turbo liked 3600 rpm I don't see why a 72 wouldn't be able to surpass that with a flatter hp curve.

^^X2Not saying it cant happen but if you throw your truck on the dyno and see power has hit its peak at 3000rpm and HP tapers off pretty quick there after, raising your shifts to 3600-3700rpm will slow you down as your way out side your power range. if you have a very flat HP line with hardly any tapering off, you can get away with a little more RPM.
when it comes to shift points, its a balance of your whole setup. adding more air can push the shift points higher at WOT if the fuel is there to support it and vise versa. this is where the dyno can come in handy as a TUNING TOOL so your not shifting too early or too late.
now the shifts at the end of the traps are a different story.
It probably could given the right set up, however on stock fuel and stock engine, that's not going to be the case.
My 4094avant likes 2400-3400 really well on stock fueling, at 2200 the turbo fully lites, at 2400 it pulls hard and burns clean till about 3400, then I can feel it start to fall off the power curve, that may be due to timing or lack of fuel or both. I have 60 overs and a 12mm cp3 waiting to go in right now, I was gonna wait till I got the vgt72 to install everything, it would be much nicer to do it all at once, but now I'm wondering just how much the driving dynamic will change just by adding fuel to my current set up.....
IMO I wouldn't upgrade to the 72, unless you are going to max out the 4094 where it "makes sense" to go bigger. I would try adding fuel to your current setup before upgrading to a larger turbo, the 4094 should be able to clean those 60's up.
Although saying you have a 72mm turbo is always cool

on small tune, yes. throw a all out race tune in with rail pressure that holds, no way.
It very well could be a case, Jason. its dependent on fuel system health. if you got a freak CP3 that like to hold rail and injectors that hardly return fuel, i could easily see it holding rail up in the upper R's. Most times, the reason you see a a falling HP curve is due to a turbo falling outside its map or rail draining way out.
Agreed. My 4094 wouldnt clean up dual fuelers and 60s even on an old tune built for stock cp3. The second pump bumped the pressure up and that alone caused it to haze even at 42 pounds of boost! My 72 should be installed along with my new Danville tunes. Problem is I am on a bus in Hawaii so I can't tell you how it runs lol.
Holly shit, when did they make a bridge to Hawaii :rofl:
Yeah, I agree with you and James, I don't think a 4094 would be able to clean 60's up very well at all, especially in the upper rpm when the charger starts to choke:spit:
What I mean is the 4094 has enough potential to blow a piston, maybe I'm wrong
