XLR8R, I might try that someday. I've heard both sides of the discussion for going pre CAC or airhorn. For ease of installation I decided to try it there first. I thought the gain was pretty good, I was expecting less.
I would like to see some results/dyno graph showing hp at both locations. I've been looking around but haven't found any yet.

Yeah, your right, Phil's truck does run good right now. But,.....did he tell you that it is running that way because he has my old "Scheid Built 180 Pump" on there now and not his old "stock" 180 pump??? I will say this though,.........a race between Phil's 98' 12 valve on #2 and Mike D. with his 24 valve on #2 and NOS would be pretty interesting. But right now Phil isn't gonna be doing any racing until he gets that bad oil leak fixed on the front of his engine.

You can get by without the purge if you dont mind the first second not having full power, actually it might be better for some things as it doesnt hit as hard. I have a friend that runs it on a sleeper street car an he never purges, within a second it has full power so why sweat it.

His truck is darn fast. That Scheid pump puts the fuel to it. He might be too fast for me now. Although, I ran a 12.87 with a smaller jet than I used on the dyno, I'll take your advice Mike and put a bigger one in there just in case.

Geeze Here go you guys talkin me into it! I've got plans for 8's progressive with one big shot after the new clutch, I'm even thinking of a smaller charger just to try it, I had talked to quite a few people including Olee and Doug and both mentioned trying the smaller charger!
PS John P how are ya man! Havent talked to ya in forever! you should stop by sometime!

I have no problem with a .083 solenoid with a .037 jet on a momentary switch for spooling. Two quick 'hits' and the turbo is lit.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that typically the more expensive kits add a progressive controller and bigger feed lines to help you down the nitrous junkie line. I don't think it's a bad thing to start out with a $300 kit, but that's all you'll end up with if you want to go bigger later. JMHO of course.

Mike, Now that you've got your transmission done and a bigger turbo, you should bring your rig to the track and we'll line 'em up. What's the fun of having all this stuff if you don't race it, right. I'll promise to leave the nitrous off. What do you say?
My truck is slow without the nitrous, it should be a good race...

Floorman:
"For the record",......you are right, Phil and I did do some "horse trading" on parts and that stock tranny you say was "your stock one" was part of that deal. However,......so all the facts are straight here,...Phil also got my 2002 47RE case along with all the high energy clutch packs and "modified parts" that were inside that transmission, along with us working a deal on that HIGHLY modified Scheid 180 Pump that was in my 1996!
I also find it pretty funny (although you did say you were "busting Mike D.'s chops) that you are on here giving Mike D. a hard time with a truck that is not even yours!!!
As he said, bring that truck of yours out to the drag strip sometime and lets see how you can do against Mike D.s truck, #2 diesel only!! My guess is,......you will LOSE!!! We will let you know the next time we go to the drag strip!---------

Sounds good, Mike. Hopefully, we'll be able to all meet up sometime soon. If you get that Quad box you'll have a even better running truck. I've lined up with both of John's trucks and lost, but I've always had a good time. That's what it's all about.
