Talking I like my 366 spring :-)

I finally got my 3200 RPM spring installed last week . . man, what a difference.

Here's some observations about my truck you guys might find interesting.
** 40 PSI boost gauge appears to peg at 20 PSI (figures)
** Boost gauge used to peak at 23 PSI & drop to around 16 PSI at shift point
** After spring, gauge pinned at 20 psi & stayed at 20 psi to 3300
** After spring, truck smoked all way to 3300, till I upped boost setting
** Before the spring, truck left a puff & cleared as revs climbed
** Turbo spools much faster now than before
** Truck leaves a puff of black & clears up on full throttle with over 20 PSI
** Stock converter gives 2800 stall on this combo
** Truck will now burn tires from a slow roll
** Engine is much more responsive now
** Truck has no problem running 65 - 70 mph in 3rd gear

Over all I like the result, transmission even shifts better . .no more hanging in low when cold because shift point is higher than governed RPM at light throttle. The truck is simply much more enjoyable to drive.

I was amazed after I replaced mine. What a difference a few hundred rpm can make!
