LBZ: Project "Cracked Piston"

Can you link a quick connect to AN-6 fitting for the feed line? I'm having a hard time finding one.

Im not at home and dont recall the size of the return line but here is a link for both 3/8 hard line and 5/16

There are cheaper options but these two look similar to what our current retention clip system is.

Nice! Every time I look at this thread I get all giggly for my build. Hoping to have it together by end of may. Pretty much exact same setup as yours.

Awesome! I hope to be running this coming weekend!

I still need to put the water/meth back on, put my heat matting on the hood and all the lights. Then it has to get an alignment, the AC needs to be recharged then I should be able to start driving her again.

Ill have to be careful though as I dont have any billet parts in the trans but that will be next on the list Billet C2 and P2 at the least and probably an input all from Gorend. Hoping I can do that myself in a weekend.

Input before all else.

Why are you running water meth?

It came with the truck when I bought it, getting a 55 gal drum makes the MPG gain cheaper than diesel and about 80 more hp when I dynoed it with the original setup.

So another item i replaced was my EDGE EGT probe which is on an EAS. The new probe is not reading correctly and just showing 90-100 degrees. I find it odd the new one is already bad. the EGT for my water meth system is showing 200-300 degrees at idle and they are right next to each other. anyone know if i could splice an off the shelf thermocouple into these things.

Hey guys needs a quick reminder on good temps. I cant recall what my EGTs used to run right now when its 90 out i am seeing about 800s cruising 80mph and my coolant is only 188. When I am getting on the freeway up to 80 I can see 1000-1100 on my egts I think I recall that being normal.

My temps I know these trucks normally ran hotter but mine I have never gotten to go over 200 unless I was racing. I changed the thermostats before and changed them again in the new motor.

Those are good egts

Update,

Took her to the track, ran pretty good only ran upto tune 4 track was very hot and not much stick to it. Still pulled off an 11.75 @111mph. But shes got more in her for sure. Once the trans gets its billet parts shell be fast. 10.99 here we come.
