Picking up the beast on Tuesday

[Turbo Pig]

Today was supposed to be the day, but Arthur wanted it over the weekend to tweek the driveability... Before I dropped it off, I was making 477/534 with 16.5# of boost... By just putting in the Stage II heads and Stage II cams, I lost 5# of boost. This seems to be what the Lightnings lose with the infinitely more efficient airflow... So with the same pulley set up, i was seeing 11.5#. So we changed from a 5# lower to an 8# lower to get me to 14.5#. Weather during tuning was atrocious in SC (90 degrees/70% humidity) so the numbers are probably lower than they will be on a cool day. I got the 477/534 numbers on a 65 degree low humidity day...

I am very pleased that I gained 32 rwhp/50 rwtq considering I dropped my boost by 2# on a very hot and humid day. If I do it on a 65 degree day like the last numbers, I may be closer to 50 rwhp/70 rwtq gains. Our Trucks hate heat.

I am putting 750-1000 miles on it before I crank her up to 19# for the track...

I can't wait until tuesday...

Nice B. Are we gonna see it next weekend at the next Hooter's get together?

I have a wedding next weekend, but it is up that way, I might be able to make it... But I don't have a passenger seat right now, so the fiancee probably won't want to sit on the floorboard... We will see.

We all know you wouldn't make the better half sit on the floorboard... esp. since that would prevent her from wearing a seat belt.... Which would be a violation.... which you wouldn't do....;)


So....

Put in a seat.. b/c we ALL want to see the beast!

Must be nice to get your stuff back that quickly. Sounds like it will be a beast. I think more F-150 owners need to put cams in their trucks.
