well i usually forget to switch to extreme and just keep it on performance as they feel the same but i guess extreme has a little bit more as i got him up the hill we occasionaly race up. My EGTs hit 1600 for a second or 2 so theres definetly more fuel my egts are hard to get to 1500 on performance. as for the clutch i dont know how its lasting, i made a few runs at the drag races last year and ive put on 100,000KMS since ive owned it, i bought it with 123,000, ive never felt it slip or have never smelt it.

performance...and I have 37s aswell so we are on the same playing field...only thing I can beat him in now is lower egts

Racing new town or south town hill? Is he beating you to Ross lake? lol

You really need to try Crazy Larry out with the Triple Dog- that is a huge gain over extreme. I was able to run CL with a boost fooler- exhaust work and intake without the EGT's getting out of control.

Your stock clutch is definately not enjoying the power either.... Its probably got some slip, even if you aren't feeling it.

Not on 03-04.

CL on 04.5+ is close to 200hp but 03-04 is 110 at most.

Whooo... A 7.3 power stroke pulled a third gen o4.5 cummins by 1.5 truck lengths? Buddy is not your friend..........try smarty!!!!!!!

snoyes

Actually, reading this I think they reset to the Extreme level and the Cummins out ran the the Stroker by 1.5 truck lengths.

Whats next? Is there going to be a 6.5l guy come on here and say he outpulled a 04.5 by 2 truck lengths? This, Sir, would be a sad day

silverrhino

That sounds about right. My friends first time to the track in his 04.5, second boosted launch slipped the clutch. Luckily he was able to get it back home. That trip cost him a little over $3000.

triple nickle that would be new town hill racing towards ross lake turn off and ya i ended up beating him by 2 truck lengths.

crack_7.3

nah don't let him fool you.... 1.5

and triple nickle his poor dodge woulda melted down if we were on it all the way to the dump. he was at 1600 by the first corner i bet

I can't believe you guys are comfortable with your daily driver hitting 1600deg!! I've been there, a couple times, and scared me crapless. On a dedicated pull/drag truck fine, but otherwise, yikes.

You need a turbo and clutch, minimum. IMO injectors before turbo is backwards, and turbo before clutch is the same. No offense intended!! You just need a few more thousands of dollars dumped into the truck. Power turds and Dura craps are pretty quick without lots of dollars. Of course they don't seem to live through the abuse like the CTD.

Good work boys, haven't raced up there in years......... I mean ever, because that would be illegal.

RunninLean

Get a clutch and exhaust you are fine with the BDTD since you have a 04.5.

Your not making 500 some where closer to 450

crack_7.3

I can't push mine to 1600 in my hottest tune it gets to maybe 1300...as for him getting injectors first...his stock ones were F*d up so he figured he might aswell upgrade if he was going to have to buy new ones anyways....triplenickle I think my ol man bought his first loggin truck of your ol man years ago.
