Ok, sorry it took so long to post but I was nervous about how my truck seemed to be running and have been tooling around on it. I think I was just being paranoid.

I did find two leaks from my intercooler tubes, one on the hot pipe where it connects to the turbo, I have Dieselsite boots and I installed the thin wire nonslip ring wrong. and I had an aftermarket intake elbow on that I blew the gasket out of so the stock one went back on. Probably better that way anyway.

My truck did seem to be running weak today almost like it had a blown FICM fuse. I used to have a problem with them blowing, but I have no codes and all the fuses are good.

I mispoke in my last post, it was the extreme race tune that I ran 354hp on. I was hoping to at least bump the 400hp mark but it didn't happen.

Smokersteve: No tire squealing on the Dyno, but I could smell them burning up.

I was nervous as **** on that dyno, taching the motor up that high goes against everything I know and I was very very apprehensive to do it. At one point the owner of the shop said: "the next time you let off early I'm getting in there" He ended up giving me seven runs for $75 because of my two botched runs and to satisfy his own curiosity. "He's got a 6.0 too"

But here they are:

EXtreme "Race"

Hub, what is the altitude where you live? What was the air temp today? Did the guy say if these were corrected numbers or not?

I'm stationed in Louisiana, so figure that I am darn near at sea level. It might have hit 50* today.

Edit: the wife says the high today was 47*

He did explain the use of corrected numbers to me. I am flipping back through my sheets from today and found one that is time stamped the same time as the Extreme Race Pull and it reads 333HP. So one says 354hp and the other says 333hp, I don't know which is which because they are not marked but I think he told me 354hp was the raw number and 333 was corrected, but I could be wrong.

That could be right, but I bet it's the other way around. Dang I was hoping you were going to say you were at 5000+' and it was a hot day. Those numbers aren't what I would expect to see from your truck where you live.

My advice... Take the truck to the track and run the 1/4. Then calculate the time into hp. It will either back up the dyno sheet or throw it out. Plus its fun.
