as long as it’s tuner well you aren’t going to shred the transmission.


I did shred my rear pumpkin with a 93 octane tune and bolt ons though.

As in the actuall ring an pinion? My carrier bearing went out. The carrier bearing went out in my Gen1 I had too.

drive train loss is 20-25% 560 to the wheel more like 750 crank give or take

Realize if you can make it to 560 horsepower that extrapolates to just about 700 at the flywheel which certainly makes it competitive with a new 5.2 Liter Raptor or a TRX

For a lot less money.

I will be doing stage 5 CRP tubos he is already holding a set for me ready to ship. just been waiting for 5 star to get all the tuning done on a set.

I will be staying with cobb and @wgr73 to custom tune it still lots of info learned from 5 star on the new turbos

so far they did 93 and E50 blend just waiting on E85 blend to be done

627 HP on pump E30 est 660 HP on E85 is my guess

look at dyno key is keeping that TQ max 600 along the curve and dropping it off at peak

Sweet! I'm have my stage 4 turbos and manifolds already. Just waiting on my new block.
I'll either get a Gearhead tune since they are local, a Goosetune, or 5star. I like what I hear about wgr73 and his tunes.

You guys are pushing the limits. Please be sure to let the rest of the group know how long your motors last.

Sorry for the hijack.But did any member run the CRP manifolds I do want to run them, But my truck is loud right now with a full exhaust and non catted dp's.
But I am thinking of going catted dp's again and a manifold, then do a stage 4 turbo upgrade.

Just wondering how the truck will sound with these manifolds.

The manifolds are pretty new so not sure there are many people running them at all. You could contact Andrew at CR Performce and talk to him. He answered every question I had and had lots of info about flow and such on them.
