GT42 on and Running

Thanks Dieselson for helping build my CONFIDENCE:rofl: Actually I do have a spare motor here. Trying not to use it yet
Just trying to help :rofl:
LOL Remember weight your options mick
Don't Do it= Slower, charger doesn't spool as fast, and Higher EGTs, but motor will last longer
Do it=Faster, charger spools faster, lower EGTs, but you will be sending rods through the oil pan in no time :rofl:

Mick, have you had it to the track since you put this charger on? What kind of times are you seeing now, what tune are you running?
Havent been to the track with setup I have at the moment Larry. Went to track few weeks ago with the 42 and the old tune. Went 13.4@ 107 with a 2.6 60'. Have been trying a few tunes with Mike from New2LB7. With the latest one with the Kennedy Twin Lift pumps and the Water/Air Cooler and Co Pilot, I put the G Tech on and it went 12.6 @111 with a 2.6 60'. Still having trouble getting it spooled but it goes hard once its lit. But we are getting there (with less smoke each time which Im happy about) Have a few radical things happening next few weeks though that are going to make a difference. By the way the 2wd is hooking beautiful.

Almost, he's just being easy on the converter. I think Mick is just playing around getting the feel for launching under boost. He's proud of the fat wraps on the rear of his truck.
Mick, you still getting the tire spin at the 40 to 50 mph range? Hopefully we'll get the tuning right soon. What kinda boost is present as you are leaving the line?
Yea Mike still going a little sideways at that speed. That gtech run was not a boosted launch though. It was the first time Ive tried the new gtech
Mick, you cant leave us hanging, what radical things are you talking about? From the times your saying (2.6 60' & 12.6 1/4) that has to sit you back in the seat the whole run down the track. That has to be a radical ride.
