lol this is the FIRST time it's ever been on a trailer.. i can't drive it to the dyno shop, so i have no other option but to tow it

[BLKGP]

well the tune didn't go great, but it wasn't bad either.. the truck is drivable but goes into reduced power under full boost, it'll handle short bursts of boost... sooo i gotta go back to the dyno next week or so, so we can figure out whats up, i called the guy that built the setup and he gave me some tips on what to do, so hopefully they work.. the AFR is a little whack too, but we'll fix that

heres some vids of me driving and giving it little bursts.. the tires will break loose from a 30+ mph roll

sorry, they're crap cell phone vids lol

That thing sounds awesome.

[TLSheff]

SO AWESOME!!!!


I can't lie, that gave me a chubby. Can't wait until you get it going solid and get a video of it on the dyno once you get it all worked out right

[JoRoW99]

that turbo flutter scares me...otherwise BA!

[BLKGP]

[BLKGP]

[Scottydoggs]

[matt5112]

Oh GM and your chipped pistons... :C

[BLKGP]

yeah, i think i'll leave the tuning alone next time.. it was totally my fault that it blew... gonna pick another engine and start over

[blueguy]

Tried tuning it yourself?

Bummer dude...at least it didn't shoot a piston through the hood

[FoSHO99]

Ya gotta learn somewhere...

How much knock was there?

[BLKGP]

wow... what in the f*ck happened to #4? bet that was loud

thats from the piston ring bouncing around in the cylinder, actually it wasn't loud at all.. just the sh*t rattling inside the cylinder lol

Ya gotta learn somewhere...

How much knock was there?

messed up thing is while data logging with HPTuners, the scanning software never showed any knock at all... sooo my HPT is f**ked up or my knock sensors don't work

[02 WS6 TA]

my knock sensors don't work

That. Sucks to hear, but that empty engine bay pic said to me "Insert LSx"...
