Forest started tuning my truck tonight. Very impressive. Right now it is making 554 to the wheels. This is with a base tune. This is at 8 degrees timing, 11.0 afr, 10 lbs of boost, and the water meth kit is not even on yet!! This thing is NNasty and he has just started to tune it, We will be looking at probably 600rwhp on a daily driven budget built Z71 pickup.

haha awsome :rolf :thumbsup yeah, so the truck is showing signs of dumb power in close sight. The only limits will be the fuel system that is in it right now. Im thinking 600+ rwhp on gas and 650? on watermeth mix. and that will be all she wrote on the fueling for this one. not bad for 10-12 psi and 93 octane. Needless to say, Seth is all jazzed up about this one..:thumbsup Congrats on good taste in mods Seth, nice combo for sure

How does this thing tow. I have looked at turbos but i would think its going to be in boost all the time with something on the hitch?
Neat truck. Did you get any times out of it? is that at the track with the burnout?

Try to get this truck into some a DHRA events and make all the diesel guys feel salty, then fill up on $3.89 a gallon gas as your drive away!

Obviously it is Seths truck. No secret. There is also no secret that he does not mind me answering these questions as he is at work and I have incredibly to much time on my hands.j

If you would rather I dont answer the questions, I guess i can do that. But unless seth all of a sudden has a problem with it, Ill continue.

Kyle, to answer your question regarding towing with a turbo gasser. It is not recommended by any of the turbo manufacturers and how the truck responds, i bet it would tow horribly. But hey, I guess thats just hear say till someone on here tries i and gives us a real life review.

The truck is a monster, im not giving out final result as I will leave that glory for seth, If he chooses to tell people.

I am going to spill the numbers you all have been waiting to hear. 615 hp and 620 tq. @ 5200 rpm. So we are going to retune it tomorrow to achieve the numbers where I want them around 6200. we are going to turn the boost and power down some so the trans will live. it should be fun though!

yup, this thing runs out of injector and fuel system in general at that power level :rolf but its nasty as hell. That tune up was on 16 psi and 11.0-11.4 A/F..... Ill back it down so he can actually drive the truck at WOT and not go lean above 5200. Ill look for 570-580 to the tire at 6300 or so. I think Toms car should be a monster when looking at this truck :thumbsup

Party Spoiler!!! Your givin up my cash cow! No doubt, this thing just wants to fly off the dyno. DEFINITLY the nastiest 4wd street truck ive ever had the pleasure of getting up close to.

Here comes the money........ :banana

dyno results. we finished tuning today. the fuel system starts going lean after about 5200 rpm. So we set the rev limiter at 5000 rpm and it short shifts at 4800 rpm. after I can afford a fuel system I will have forest set this thing on kill and be ready to make some money. I will not post the final #'s after the fuel system but, I am guessing 700 rwhp when it is all done. Thanks again Forest, and West Bend Dyno!!!

here are the number since my scanner sucks.

baseline:220.2 hp @ 5076 rpm/ 70.6mph
241.5tq @ 4294rpm/58.8 mph

first tune: 615.3 hp @ 5403 rpm @ 134mph
621 tq @ 4890 rpm@ 121mph

Current tune: 551hp@ 5098 rpm @ 126mph
593 TQ @ 3742 rpm @ 88mph

I am very impressed with Forest tuning capabilities and his willingness to go out of his way to help me get my truck done on a sunday. I reccomend him to anyone that needs tuning done or maybe a custom turbo build, just a couple of his very impressive skills.
