cruising at 60 im seeing 600 constant
and at 30 MPH I can put it in 5th, and floor it, and never exceed 1000!
(thats on an around 30 degree day)

I have done these:
(pre-turbo pyro)
a few turns on the full fuel
star wheel bottomed
2 turns at the top
pin set deep
4in DP
timing bump

What do ya'll think??

 

Sounds like a pretty good setup .600 at cruising speed is execlent... what kind of fuel milage??

 

on the one road trip i took I averaged around 21-22MPG
Towing on the return was 14
and my usual 50/50 highway and around town I get 18

 

If this is a play truck, run the fuel screw in so that on a sustained WOT pass, the EGT's hang around 1200*F. Then turn the star-wheel back up to reduce the no-to-low boost smoke.

 

What is your gear ratio in the D-350, Cowboy?

 

Should be 3.54 if stock with a 5 speed but could be 4.10 but not common in the late modles.

 

I've driven the truck and they feel like 3.54's to me. #'s sound good, JR Did you get the pod on the pillar? I'm out playin in the garage all day today, and I've got light this time, so stop on over!

 

Yep, im runnin 3.54's as far as I can tell. The big pipe makes it sound a lil higher, but I can easily grab 100+ in a matter of seconds.
and reverse is like 50 MPH! need an underdrive unit.

I plan on runnin the full fuel in considerably, Greg and myself only ran it in till the buggered up threads allowed, probably a good 2, wouldnt u say Greg?

Im going to play around with the Smokey pin, maybe give gregs a try before I mess with mine.

The truck is a daily driver, play, and work. For now anyway. Till I find something 4x4, and x-cab. Then it'll be my little hotrod. Im thinkin S300, RV injectors, water/meth, maybe play with propane.

My actual goal is 400 RWHP, and as much torque as possible (I love torque)

 

You better enjoy those low egt's now cuz they will vanish when
the weather warms up. LOL

And when the fuel screw goes in!

 

YER DARN SKIPPY!!! Ive already did the poor boy open element air filter, and did the 'ol smokey pin last night. Next is the fuel screw!!

Yeah, im hoping by the time it warms up enough to give me trouble with EGT's, the S300 will be here, and the water/meth will be done.
