Re: turbo time
You don't need to go stage 3 unless you really want to spend your money. Look at Gary, he only has stage 1 and what was datamaster saying Gary 12.4 ish?? Thats with the alky not tuned right and a transmission falling apart. IMO your going way overboard if your only looking for low 12's.
If your thinking consistant 11's then maybe OK, but thats not what you said, and in that case I would through on your shopping list a new built long block and new transmission.

You are gettin me all excited!
I just picked up this Ty last week. It's getting some things done to it to make it road worthy. Tie Rods, Heater Core, Radiator, Brakes, fluid changes. But I wondered how fast it was. I think it already has a lot of goodies on it. Any guesses? I am going to try to hit the track Friday night.

Re: turbo time
Dm showed 12.4 one way and 12.8 going up hill. I guessed around 12.6- 12.7. The trans was good then. I think thats when It smoked. After that I did not stomp on it till that night with Jeremy. He made my truck look sad. My truck did 13.5 stock and thats about what I was doing with the smoked trans. Don is close to 12's with a only a few mods. Traction is keeping him away from a 12 second run right now. When you start to hit low 12's things start to go bad.

Re: turbo time
alright, now you've got me into this thread. lol.
What other parts will be holding you back? What et/hp (which really they are both one in the same for most of us) will a 60-1 be good up to? I ask, because if its only good for high 10's every once in a while and might cause damage to the turbo at anything after that (assuming the psi you're running it at I guess..) then I'm going to need to rethink my budget on my build for a 67-7xmm turbo..

Re: turbo time
Could have been the trans slipping. Who knows. I still dont think I will be that fast. Mid 12's probably. I have only gotten my tires to spin 2 times. and that was right after my build. before the turbo I could not break loose the tires. My trans probably has been going out for a long time and the added power killed it fast. So what I have learned from this is to spend the $$ to bullet proof the truck first then add power to it. I rather have a stock 13second truck that you can bash then a 11 second truck that sits in the garage.!

Re: turbo time
With your upgrades and good tuning it's possible to run a 11.9X.......at least I think so. You couldn't break your tires loose before the turbo? Damn, I need to get my TY to the track then to get some numbers because it feels really strong and I can break them loose. It's been raining lately up here and I like it because there's a speed bump on my road and after I go over it and shift into 2nd(about 10mph) I just floor it and break all 4 loose while sliding sideways. :rotf:gjp said:
