First time on the dyno

Well they had a dyno this weekend at the off road expo in pomona. I only ran 380 hp and 808tq. I have a bully dog power pup on extream and a adj ts ramifier on full. 4" exhaust and afe intake with torque tube. I also have the ez boost elbow on. Numbers seem a little low but I might be wrong. What does everyone else think. I'm thinking of upgrading to either a smarty beta or a torque dog with crazy larry.

That sounds about right. You need a better turbo on that 03.....

I think that "Spark Plug Conversion Kit" may be hurting you too. The plug tips are probably carbon fouled causing you to lose power......

Is your truck a SO?

My truck in my sig landed just about the same as yours did. I did not have a exhaust or a boost elbow though. The numbers in my sig were neted using the BDTD on Performance setting and a Stage ll Dr.Performance box. I have a 235hp SO btw.

If you do get the Bully Dog system you will not be able to run the Crazy Larry software for our 2003 trucks. I think it's for the 04's and up.

I think they will still get carbon fouled unless you get the "Splitfire" plugs..

Bullydog didn't work the greatest on 03-04 trucks. You should get a little more power out of a Smarty though.

That sound's right on for you mods.

That's about the most you're gonna get with the mods you have.

Even with a Smarty/mp8 and a II Silverbullet I still only dynoed at 430hp.

It's 03-04 syndrome. You gotta spend more to get more.

I was there too.Didn't dyno but I did watch a CTD dually put down over 1100lbftof torque.It took the lead from a duramax at the time. Come out to Glamis with us,I am sure we can round up a Smarty to try.Oct 26-28

That was a tough dyno. Try again on a dynojet

The Bully Dog does suck on a '03-'04. Although I did make good numbers with a Triple Dog/TST stack and a 66-size turbo. 525-555 depending on what number you want to believe.
