Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) TST powermax, and stock injectors

[DrewGzy]

I got my TST in this weekend, but I have not gotten my injectors in. I have not taken the box above level three.



Is it OK to go higher with stock injectors, or should I wait until I get my Mach II's in?



Thanks

I've had mine on number 9 and every number between just to see what it's like... ... ... and what it is like is 4 and over will slip transmission real easy. So your only real worry is the clutch. Generaly I am on 3

Btw I have 275's just need a warm day to put them in.

When TST dyno'ed the CTD to get the HP numbers they use they used stock truck with there box and parts only. Enjoy the power but your drivetrain is the next weak link.

Go for it, but...

You can save your driveline on the high power levels by not flooring it and revving 2700 to 3000 RPMs.



I have DDIIs and TST PM3 Adjustable that I run on 6 most of the time, tow 17K lbs on level 4 and run other trucks on level 9.



I have not slipped the clutch on this truck in 37K miles. I transferred everything over from my 00 2500, which I pretty much ruined the clutch on. nailing it at low rpms pretty much guarantees clutch failure.



So, Go for it and rev it on up there

Cool thanks, I will play with it a little bit more. I'm not too worried about the clutch, I've got my new one, just waiting to go in.



Thanks again
