Well I went out to do the crankshaft tone ring mod, took the belt off, but when we were putting the ballancer back on, the belt sliped of from where it was sitting. Can you believe there is no diagram in the owner's manual OR in the engine bay of the truck? HELP, i'm out of town at a friend's house, and need to head back soon, haha

 

you think it would be the same on an 03? if it were daylight i could take a pic and post it.

 

Johnny

Here you go.

 

nice work thats the way to help him out.

 

Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I clocked the CPS for an additional 3-4 degrees, WOW, it quieted the engine down a good bit, but my engine temperature went up a good bit.

I thought I would clarify, by the top of 4th gear my water temperature is 210 or so, but comes down real quick. I'm not sure, it seems like more seat of the pants power, but I read it's supposed to drop EGTS, even WOT, which is NOT the case in my truck. Full throttle (only thing tested) I pegged 1,400 just as easily. NEED MORE TIMING

 

No problem.

How is that crankshaft mod going to work with your box/downloader?? Isnt that confusing things a lot?

 

I dunno, more seat of the pants for sure, can't tell for smoke, tested on a desolate road with no lighting what so ever. But SOTP feels good.

 

I think the EGT's are due to fact of you having 500+hp and a stock HY35. But that's just me. What do I know?

 

Now that I have some seat time, EGT's did drop low to mid-range. 5psi of boost equates to around 550-600 degrees pre-turbo. Alot cooler than my usual 750 or so. Now the real test, normal driving 10psi everywhere I go [laughs]

10psi 3rd gear pull is usually 850-900 degrees, now it's 750. Power on the topend is there like it never was before, and I only added maybe 3 degrees. I'm gonna pull it off again in about 4-5 days and mill the bolt holes 1mm or so, that should give me 6-7 degrees of timing, weeeeeee. It did quiet my engine down a good bit as well. Time to order that SPS66.
