That's awesome! What kind of tires are you using and what size wheels? You'll get more traction with more sidewall, a 17" or 18" wheel would have more give than 20s or 22s.

Your buddy's truck fell off on the top end, look at that mph compared with his 1/8th mile.

stock size 275 55 20s still

yea he kinda thinks the turbos just skyrocket the intake temps and backs off on the top end... he has an e50 tune that is (supposed to be) faster but hadnt tried it out yet. thinking the e85 may not care about the intake temps as much. nuts how much power they're getting out of those, probably have quite a few lbs on him also though.

For sure, get him over to the Cat scales then you can show him even though he's quicker, yours makes more horsepower! E85 is a cooler fuel so no it won't care.

Twin turbos on a little 3.5 pushing all that weight is a hand grenade with a loose pin IMO. Our Buicks were 3.8 or 4.1 motors and we used single turbos and kept the boost in 3rd gear to about 18-20 psi for a street car. Anything past 24-26 psi in 3rd and the heads would always lift off the block in short order.

I hit 25 psi and popped the headgasket, and that was on 87 octane.

Was bored, had to do a little test drive after installing sway bars. Took a few vids.
Might bring gopro to track next time I go.


Nice! Looks like about 13.65 0-100 and about 5.65 0-60. Sounds a lot like our PPV, but I'm sure your front tires adding traction would just smoke our truck.
