Randeez 2012 Budget Yukon Denali Build (stick on hood scoops galore)

Yeah, hitting overdrive would be ******* the transmission, we always held it to 3rd. With 4.10s @ 125 MPH you're motor's turning about 5400-5500 rpms. Up to 130 would be around 5700 mathematically. Is that what you're seeing?

yea except with converter slip unlocked, which is about another 700rpm

Well, you can go back to 3.42s or 3.73s, turbos don't like to pull on a lot of gear or raise the RPMs! Did you build it to spin to 7,000 rpms? How about the transmissions and transfer case?

yup, just trying to push the absurdness of 1k hp reliably. itll get turned up as needed with "supporting mods" lol which is now bigger injectors and turbo

i'll prob fix the fuel pressure, tune, and see if it'll actually break into 10s cause that'll be essentially free at this point. turbo did drop pressure a little bit maybe a psi or 2, over each gear shift to red line. was only making about 12-13psi after each shift not sure if theres much left in this "little guy"

i think track messed me up... usually all the racegas, tire smoke, methanol, etc gives me a little head ache in the morning (im getting old? lol) just acts like a hang over but was rough all weekend. they had a lot of meth cars out there that were testing for crap going on all weekend.
