Ya I realize the overhead mpg is probably off, its all over the place. I just havent hand calculated it yet.
Diablo told me that If you run the puck & predator seperate without the stack tune you will get a rail overpressure code. Although I didnt see it when I tried. I may be wrong, but I believe they said that you will get one if you stack anything else but the puck with the predator.
No rail pressure code here.

What are your egts running?
Mine are pretty high. I just did a full run yesterday for the first time and hit 1600 by the end of the 1/4 mile - that's with the Snow pumping straight -20 washer fluid.

Mine was under 1500 on the dyno, I am waiting patiently for the snow to go away so I can run a 1/4. But remember I have a bigger intercooler, makes a big difference

If you are hitting 1500 on the dyno...your going peg a 1600 degree gauge by the 1/8 mile.... IMHO.

I don't bust 1375 ish on the dyno (Dynojet) and can hit 1500 on the pavement.

Food for thought.

Thats the main reason I'm reconsidering going bigger than a 62 turbo... Still cannot make a decision on this one...

I can make it for you...

If you going to aim higher than 500-550...get yourself some head room.

Get a bigger turbo.

I have ran wide open on the highway for several miles, never even came close to 1400... but that being said, the temps were like -20 or something,, that could have something to do with it

How?

In a 1/4 mile you have already hit your speed limiter?

I don't understand how you can be wide open for a couple of miles...

The 62 myths are killing me. At 632 hp (heck...I have seen this even at 500 hp)...your not going to be able to run a 1/4 WOT and not hit 1400.

NO WAY.

Your letting up, running lower stettings, something. The turbo flat does not move enough air to do that. PERIOD. Its just thermodynamics...

They are great turbos...and have a big purpose, but they are not for 600+ hp runs.

I guess I would agree at the 600hp level, since that is what I am seeing now. But I don't agree with you on the 500hp level. My A3k is basically a 62/14 and at 500hp with the water/meth OFF I could go a full 1/4 mile at about 1300-1350 and 1200-1250 with 50% water/meth mix.

Does it depend on how the fuel is added? It probably does. A downloader worth 100hp is going to raise egts a lot. Injectors worth 100hp are not.

Easy there 'Cq' do you know that you are talking to the all knowing, great one...aka "The Swami Morkable". Be careful he might not ever talk to you on here if you ask him a question or make a statement that doesnt seem worthy to answer.

Wvkrawler, I will have to agree with omaharam and say you dont want to stack or for that matter add more than give or take a little, around 100hp on stock setup or you will regret it. But, if you do plan on investing say tomorrow.......
Thanks for everyones input. I think better safe than sorry, if I fry the tranny that means making the TJ a daily driver , which isn't a bad thing, except then I'll be forkin out $800 for new swampers. These twisty WV roads can tear up a set of swampers quick, especially when you have a rear locker

Delivery matters...big time.

I could cut 200 degrees out of my exhaust temp with a set of Flux 1's.

Even then...we would have "similar" exhaust temps.

Wonder why they make a A5k or a SPS66 when all we need is 62's?

Still saying...no way. I have seen 500 hp on jstiegler's truck...when he had honed injects...so that makes it almost identical to morkable.

Small honed, maximum amount of safe timing, safe pressure, and all the rest from duration to make 500...520hp...and he did not have temps that low in a 1/4 or on a dyno. Period.

I mean no offense...but these 62 posts are tuning into I get 28 mpg posts.

At 500hp - without injectors, I can make a full run and be well under 1400deg - don't care how many times you say I can't - I can!

It must be the "altitude" then.

Or...have you forgot to tell me your temp defuel is set at 1350 on your Juice?

But...I give up. If it works for you...great.

If you are trusting your Juice EGT gauge...I would verify it agains something else...installed in the back half of your exhaust manifold.
