I don't really give a crap anymore. I'll never have the money to competively compete in this sport. I have enough money and talent to impress myself and make myself happy.
That looks like South Jordan area? Nice to see other Dmaxs in my area! Great job on the build btw!:thumb:
Just flashed in my new maf adjusted tune. It is night and day better. No more fuel knock under load, way less smoke and throttle response is way up. Turbos come up so much easier now that the motor doesn't get choked out by fuel. The motor is so quiet now compared to before. I could probably scale the maf back a hair more but I don't want to risk spool-ability and bugging Zach for a potential 3rd maf revision.
Driving around at 4am for the last hour
Fell asleep on the couch, woke up around 2:30am and saw I had an email from my tuner...had to go test it out.

Here's a quick video of how quick they come up. I'm in 4x4, mash it, downshift then converter locks and takes right off.

Nice Mike!!! I know you work some strange hours and I have know idea where you are right now but get some sleep bud and not on the couch!!!:thumb:
Industrial's event always brings out some big guns. I showed up to that event a couple years back with my built 7.3 and made 1,018 and didn't even place for hells sake. One of the biggest dyno numbers out of any Power Stroke at that time and it went completely un-noticed thanks to Custom Auto and Dmitiris trucks going 1600+ that day.
That is a great idea I'll be making some recordings of my truck for sure now. LOL
Thanks for the idea:thumb:
I LOVE sleeping on my couch. I'd much rather sleep on the couch than in the bed, but the wife gets annoyed because I fall asleep on the couch then at like 4am I move up to the bedroom. Since I work graves my nights off are the only nights she gets to see me so I'm sure you can imagine. Its a 2 way street though because she will do anything she can to pawn off her shifts just to see me for another half hour or something...so then of course her check is missing 8-16 hours...she'll do it every week, I can just about count on it.

Yea I've given up trying to compete. I'll never have the money to do it and stay on top. I definitely can't afford to blow an engine up on the dyno just for fun. I built my truck how i wanted and i will simply go to the events, dyno and just hang out and watch everyone else carnage. Industrial puts on a good show and give out TONS of prizes in the raffle.
When I took the first test drive, I got the big turbo up around 5-7 psi and couldn't hear it and thought it was going to be a quiet beast. I was slightly disapointed...then I got on it a little more and was nicely surprised. That big 6 blade billet wheel makes some noise! It doesn't come to life till 10 psi.
Not a bad idea
I knew you worked crazy hours an you have put some crazy time in on your truck too. I know about being on different shifts my better half works swings I have been laid off for almost 3 months and our time together is still limited. At one time we were both on swings at the same place, a lot of people were amazed we could be together 24/7 and not kill each other but those were the best times in our relationship:hug:
Seriously though good sleep is important:thumb:

75 and 72 both share the same exducer tho so with a simple cover swap, you can go back and forth.
