Something isn't right. You should be over 500hp with that setup. How much smoke do you have now?



There's a chance that just losing the Swampers would cause you to dyno 40-50hp higher! I bet you're making the power, it's just not showing up because of the heavy tires and such.



Of course, you could always go EDM (mach 5s) and pickup some power.



If you're running Pius' USB, then maybe just slip a Big Brother underneath it?



Why is it to weird to me to see a post like this coming from you, Cliff?

I have to agree with Justin. Something is not right. Too many performance boxes, and an argument is happening between them?



BD 5's, fueling box, and turbo should be at or over 500.

my truck dumps out enough smoke to stop the highway. maybe it is the big tires also my tq. seemed low it was only 775.

I agree with sticks and Hohn. Something isn't right. You should be ALOT quicker then 14. 1 in the 1/4 mile. I ran a 14. 07 a couple of weeks ago, and I have Mach 1. 5's.

how bad do u think the 36 " tires r hurting me as far as the 1/4 ? maybe i should get a set of 265 tires an try it?

Whos Cliff?????

As far as the tires hurting on the dyno, we have done numerous tire/wheel combos and HP has always been the same. TQ has moved within the rpm range slightly with the different tire combos though. Now the tirs will be hurting you on the track! I would be some 265's will yeild much better 1/4 mile times. I also think you may need more turbo to hit the 500 mark. I pretty much made 450 HP with DD supermentals, B-1, and a drag comp... ... .



You could also just add a shot of N02 and make over 650 HP easy!



Just my $. 02 worth

Are you sure you do not have a boost leek??



If you go into the Maryland section, I posted a video of your truck running at Cecil County. The smoke is heavy and never cleans up.
