Got a gear vendors

 

With the GV whats your top speed not at @3200rpm?

I need to add 60lb valve springs to my list. I'll have much better times shifting less and being able to run thru the traps in 4th gear. That means launch in 2nd, shift to 3rd and then a quick jump to 4th.

 

My top speed depends on my tire size. I also adjusted the throttle linkage and I can hit 3500 rpm now without it defueling....so I can go pretty fast!

 

What's a gear vendors?

 

it bolts to the output of the trans and shifts electronicaly. Basicaly its an external 25% overdrive. So if 3rd gear is 1:1 then with the GV your final ratio is 0.75:1. Really great units and will hold all the power you could ever make, and they will increase your mpg pretty good too. Only down side is there hefty price tag.

 

Sounds great! JQMile is right, he'll have plenty of top-end speed. Is it possible to add one to a 518? Double overdrive?? Thanks for the info pwrtripls1.

 

Yes, but I wouldn't bother until you have a good enough torque converter. With any load the torque converter will slip back up to the stall speed anyway. Before I put my US Gear OD unit behind my 727, I'll be upgrading my TC...

Now... back on topic shall we!

 

can i ask what is the most hp with a single charger?

 

Now thats a really good question! I think its around 500, but really not sure. We should do a First Gen sticky for dyno and drag times. Have a list that shows single turbo, compound turbos, fuel only, water meth, N2O, ect......Most of the other truck and performance forums have them, and our old VE pumped motors are WAY different than the rest of the crowd.

 

Well its in and its running So far so good, but I did have some problems getting the pump gear set where I wanted it to Now I just need to put some miles on it so we can do a re torque on the head. If all goes well we can do the re torque and then I can flip the valet switch and get a feel for where it might be. When I left the shop last night and took it for the first drive all I can say is it feels like it really wants to go.... It feels strong even though I am limiting it to 20#'s of boost until the re torque. Only a couple of more weekends until I find out if it was worth it. I still have to put the hitch in my 06 so I can pull the trailer down there so I am not done yet.

Sweet, can't wait to see what it does! Any reason why your still running the stock intercooler tubes and air horn?

On another note what is the record for a 12mm pump single charger truck.

Might be a little shake up with that record in 2 weeks.

 

I think someone made 527 a while back on a 12mm?

 

I heard that too, it was a guy from KS with a puller it was said to be a 12mm pump but I also heard conflicting reports that it was a 14mm so....IDK

 

The Sixteenth Annual Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) Western Regional Rally, “May Madness,” [MM ’10] will be held April 26 - May 1, 2010 in Pahrump, Nevada. HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That is truly a thing of beauty, Stomp! I love the color!
