Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 3000 Gsk

[JoshPeters]

This has to be the second best mod I've put in. The Goerends transmission being the best. I was impressed at how much that thing would pull before... . then die out at about 2250. Now it just keeps pulling!



On my little test drive after install... . got'r up to about 110... looked at the pyro my 1600degree pyro was pegged! :--)



Guess it's time for twins! Oo.

Man, you better watch those EGTs! Piston temps will climb pretty rapidly at that EGT, so be careful.

 

[JoshPeters]

Luckily it was just for a few seconds. I do NOT plan on being there very much. This does make me wonder about pulling with the truck now. I DEFINATLY need to upgrade my turbo.

3KGSK

That was the best bomb to start with and then the list goes from there. The 3kgsk was money well spent!!Oo.

 

[JoshPeters]

I do think the GSK was a great BOMB, but much better used with a Manual trans. The Autos don't seem to use the high RPM's quite as much unless your pulling.

Where is the best place to get the kit?

Anyone been price shopping?



Thanks!

piers

Piers always seems to have either the Best price or the only price on stuff like that.

Glad to hear you finally got those springs in Josh. They are a kick in the pants aren't they! If you get a chance clean out your PM box, it's full.

My mailbox is empty... I think... ... I only have 6 items in a seperate folder and I still am getting a "full" message from the TDR. I'm not sure what gives.

Check your Sent Items folder. Some hide there too.

 

[JoshPeters]

AHHH... . Got it now... . I just sent out a bunch of stuff! Why would that be included in your inbox?..... oh well no biggie... now I know... . now I can monitor that one too!





Thanks Gitchesum!

now I can monitor that one too!



You can also make it were nothing is sent to the sent box.

Maybe mine is way abnormal, but it turns up to 3000 rpm before defueling and always has. What rpm does the 3k kit actually allow??

3KGSK

It will allow your truck to rev to 3400 to 3500rpm, you won't believe the difference in just driving the truck normal and especially when you romp on it, oh YEA!!!!Oo.

 

[gitchesum]

Revving to 3000 RPMs and full fueling to 3000 RPMs are two different animals.



Mine would pull HARD all the way to 3000, and would top out at around 3700 RPMs. The dyno charts showed it too.

 

[JoshPeters]

Now that I have the GSK... . where should I worry about valve float? I've heard 3400, 3600, 3700... . etc Just in case I "have" to race someone and keep my foot planted..... where should I cut it off?

Valve Float

I wouldn't run it over 3400 rpm until you get some heavy duty valve springs.
