What's up everyone I have a few questions that I really can't get a true answer on and might not ever get one but,
1. How hard can I push my stock LLY with a s366 batmowheel before a bend rods? I have head studs but stock pistons rods..I want to make about 700 :Drwhp for sled pulling but need the truck for a daily driver as well..
2. How much will the charger lower my daily driving egts. At 55mph I'm around 700-800F and at 70 mph pushing 900.. When sled pulling Im maxing the gauge out. And on the street with my race tune I see 1800f.
Any help is good help, thanks for your time.

according to your sig you have more than enough fuel on tap to bend your rods. Id try to keep it around 600 hp but then again you are on 35's...

Well that changes alot of things... Well I still need more air badly to help bring down the egts.. What would your opinion be on the fleece cheeta .68mm or Danville .68mm turbos.. I was reading on there website they pushed 650rwhp..

Well I don't want to point fingers or anything like that but I was told I could push 700 only if I did it every now and then.. Not to beat on it all the time and it wouldn't last long if I did:(

i bent my rods at around 570wrhp on 37s. its the luck of the draw if you could hit 700 and keep the rods straight.

Id do the bigger charger for sure but de-tune your tuning so your around the 550hp or lower ranger (if you want it to last). EGTs will drop and your motor will be happy. But even then, be prepared to be pulling the motor and building it.

Hey man you've seen my motor when you push the limits. There have been guys who have seld pulled with a big single and their trucks lasted with stock rods but I don't think they drove them all that often.

Buy a beater you can DD with. Personally, I dont see why everyone wants a buttload of HP and still be their only mode of transportation.

Trey,

You are never going to make your mind up I swear......First a cheetah, twins, triples, s366 batmo now suggesting a cheetah again. LOL. I still think you would be perfectly happy with a regular s366. One of the most inexpensive turbos out there. You can always twin it later when you build your motor. I love my gt4088r. Had I researched more I would have gone with a s366. Yeah it's a little charger but sure is fun as hell as a DD.
