Well, even though I had to leave early, that was a good time I do however think that the torque numbers on the early first few rounds (including mine) where quite a bit off I think it was a combo of being an unloaded dyno and probably some mistakes getting the RPM sensor synchronized with the truck. But besides that, it was fun and was nice to meet some of you guys.

There will be a dyno in Sholow on April 19th. I'll get some more information on it and let you all know. Jason, order some injectors and get those turbos spooling! And get some intercooler boots and clamps, that was pretty good bang Thanks for the t-shirts, that made my girlfriend's day

I was happy for the most part with my numbers, even though my last run was a bust thanks to the #6 exhaust rocker coming loose.

Has anyone been able to read their dyno runs, the website in the email wont load for me.

On the last dyno day, I put down 388/822 with my smarty on 9 with the 4.4 beta, so I'm not convinced with mustang dynos either.

Well I think dynoing with an auto without being able to truly load the engine with a Hardwired Lockup switch from 1100rpm was most peoples problems. I ran on that same dyno a month prior and pulled 48Xhp and 1118tq so I beleive the dyno was very accurate for my mods

I know, post hog...but i think the shocker of the day was the fully stock 6.7 laying over 300hp and high 500's in torque - all with a squeaky clean tailpipe. Durring one of his runs I put my hand in the exhaust stream for a secong and then smelled it....didn't smell like anything and absoloutley no soot - lol

Has anyone been able to read their dyno runs, the website in the email wont load for me.
The website has a program download for some software that will read the files sent to us from Keith. I downloaded the zip file, unzipped and ran the setup but was still unable to read the files from Keith. I called him about it and he said his computer was stripping the files before attaching them to the emails. He was still running folks on the dyno so I let him get back to work and he could fix it later. I hope he doesn't forget. I had some pretty nice numbers and I would like to have the proof with the dyno sheets.

Who was that old man with the stock looking silver quadcab that put down 463 hp and 951 torque? Oh, yeah, that was me!

There were some folks that were asking me about my mods. Being old and forgetful, you will have to refer to my signature. It is pretty much in order as to when I put them on the truck. I also had one of the first Bully Dog Power Pups, but sold it when I got the Smarty (also one of the first). I have had the truck almost 4 years and you cannot expect me to remember everything.

Yeah Ken, I think your right about lockup switches on the auto trucks. But I still dont see how that Mega cab with the stacks (sorry, forgot your name!) put down 950 ft/lbs, while I only put down 783 with pretty much the same mods, minus the tranny. He wasnt running a lockup controller, but that still wouldnt prevent low RPM kickdown. Im pretty sure they tried to brake the dyno when he started his run, and that may have helped him build lower RPM boost and pull the torque numbers. Now I really wish I bought a 6-spd

I know with 06 and newer dodges a Star Scan you can lock in a gear, like the GM tech scanner with the chevys. Thats nice for a dyno, just lock it in 3rd and drop to almost idle and punch it. Anyone know of any way to hold 3rd lockup without getting a kickdown to 2nd gear? I know a lockup controller or a mystery switch will hold lockup, but wont they still kick down a gear?

Im the guy with the stacked mega cab, I have to go look at the files and see which one was the best, but I think it was the one that I did a straight 2000 rpm pull. It was kinda funny when he braked the dyno it went a little crazy when I got on it lol! Thanks Jason for putting on the show...I laugh every time someone blows a boot, I dunno why its so funny to me but it scares the **** outta everyone lol!


Oh and if you have anymore pictures of my truck could you possibly pm me so you could email them to me? Thanks!
