Well I got it back. It made 433 Horsepower to the wheels. On 10 pounds of boost. Up from 283 Stock, a 150 hp gain from the P1 kit, the longtube headers and catless cat back, and dyno tune. Also added a 160* thermostat, new plugs and wires, and a catch can. Also the wideband/boost gauge.

More info in a little while

Just over 1/3 more hp and an impressive torque curve !!! :waytogo:

How much more can they turn it up? You running on 87 pump gas or what? Might be able tune it up a bit more with either a little timing backed out of it, or higher octane fuel? Have you considered having it tuned to run on E-85? It'll drop your mpg into the *******, but the power will be there and E-85 is usually significantly cheaper than 87-92 unleaded.

Hey guys...little update, my wife got the chrome wheels and new tires, and I got her lighter black wheels and highway treads. Gained a little power there. I added methanol injection and a smaller pulley on the blower last week, as well as a retune, and had the trans tuned. Saturday night I ran it at the 1/4 mile track, and my best of the night was 12.96 at 107.58 mph. With that mph, if I can get my 60' down, I could really be in the mid 12's. It's getting a BTR Stage 3 cam and at least a 3400 stall converter next month. That should help it off the line. Had the truck weighed today, with me in it and full tank of gas, 5,840 lbs. Everyone at the track was commenting about how it moved for a heavy 4x4 truck.

It's on 93 right now, I don't have E85 anywhere near me...I'm thinking about getting it in a barrel and a pump in the garage though. Lot of power to be added with e85.

Gonna try to figure out how to post my videos here

Under 13 is pretty damn quick for a 3 ton street driven truck.

Do you have any On Cue Convenience stores around you? If so, check those out for E-85. It's not advertised here and I found it by accident. But most of the On Cue's have E-85 here. You know how they run Diesel on the outter pumps only? They run E-85 on the inner pumps only.

Did they change something on the newer 5.3's? I wouldn't run over 8 lbs of boost once in a while. The Piston rings will snap the Piston tops off.
