AFE Bladerunner
Just installed an AFE bladerunner on the truck below. Everything fit great, no missing parts and it took about 45 mins(including scraping both gaskets). I have some pretty serious towing to do this week and im hoping for that idle-2000 rpm 50 ft lbs torque increase like stated....we shall see!! I am skeptical....it sure does look nice though
Just filled up 17.9 mpg hand calc'ed today.....ill get the next few unloaded tanks and see if theres a difference. I drive pretty much the same route 100 miles a day everyday. Oh and if someone is looking at this, i got mine from Thoroughbred diesel...they had the cheapest price by far and got it to me quick!! |
keep us updated with your mpg and power!!

50 miles to work this morning...i can tell a noticable difference in the 1300-2000 rpm range, and im in that range 95% of the time driving. The turbo picks up a little quicker...makes a noticable difference in bottom end! Worth it to me, i bet im going to love it towing!
this may be something thats more noticeable for us standard tranny guys |
I have been thinking about getting one of those....but Geesh they sure are expensive. They all are...not just the AFE BR.[director]

pulled a couple hundred miles this weekend about 7k lbs...i could definitly tell a diference towing....i never had to go over 2k rpm. There is alot more torque from idle, its very very nice!
On a side not, i got a diablo predator and installed the tow tune, took a spin unloaded and as soon as i mashed on it in 3rd gear about 2k rpm it instantly overpowered the clutch? I thought the 60 hp tow tune was supposed to be mild? Heck i ran the 90 horse in the smarty thousands of miles and the clutch never thought about slipping? I double check the tune loaded and it said it was the tow tune. The way it hit was sure acting like an extreme program or something |
Diablo tunes seem to be pretty aggressive
|
I have the Bladerunner as well. I've noticed a slight increase in boost. Maybe 2 to 3 psi. Seems to spool a little faster and have more bottom end.
|
pulled some more....the low end of this thing is great theres a big difference at part throttle below 2k rpm, and i hardly have to rev it out above 2k rpm pulling 10k
