How much did you pay those kids to tune yer truck? They do good work. Seriously though, how accurate is your speedo? I was comparing the mph to rpm as my truck is setup the same and it confirms they are running over 2k rpm at 65 mph.

As far as I know the speedo is correct. The police have a radar display board they set up and it is within a mile or two of dead on. On the 45 to 65 pulls I was doing I held it in second gear. I don't have the 3200 spring yet. I just have the high idle all the way out. It seems to pull to 3100 now but I do want those extra rpm's the spring would give me. I also have the stock converter so the engine powers right through it. It goes nice now and seems to go 0 to 60 in 8 flat. All the runs on the video were non brake boost starts. Just hit the gas from a idle. If I do boosted starts it just spins to much.

Those old non-intercooled trucks make some nice hot rods with just pump tweaks, gotta love 'em.

Lets just say I live where Corey Staples from Diesel fuel systems is from. CTD2001, I will see you at Winterport Drag during Diesel weekend I hope. If I don't have a tractor pull I will be there.

Yah, I would check your Tach calibration maybe? I had the 3.07 with 727 on stock gov spring without high idle screw backed out and could hit 80 mph. I know I wasn't getting near 3000 RPM. But now with the 366, no high idle spring, Getrage and 3.07 I can hit over 90 mph in 4th...

3200 spring will give you a world of difference once you put it in there.

Why check tach. I could hit 77 or 78 before I turned out the high idle. The runs I was doing from 45 to 65 I was in 2nd gear. third I can now bury the 85 speedo. I have 2 89's and they both maxed out at the same speed. They were not fueling at 75 but would top out there. The max no load on a stock setting is 2950.
