pulled up to a light and had another ford behind me and looked stroked, it was shaking and smoking and farted on take off. JK but yeah i rolled on and he stayed back a bit but i could tell he was trying. I turned into the gas station, GOTTA KEEP MY FOOT OFF THE BOOST haha, and he pulled in as well. Saw the stroke decal and laughed, he wasnt amused. He promptly asked me if i was chipped or modded, bwahahha. Yeah i said, have you seen my hood, theres lots of chips on it lol. Man i couldnt help it. he said that he wasnt sure why he wasnt keeping up with me since he is "chipped" at 300hp. me thinks ebay struck again hahahaha

haha, just hope it lasts long enough for me new fender decals to be completed! lol. so tomorrow i crank and twist, should be interesting. Did you know that the ford 7.3 tech actually told me i would be okay to push my truck to 18 but keep it under 18? i called asking about wastegates and he was like, yeah bro i adjust them all the time for people. bring er in. hmmmmm

Wow you guys dont see 1100 just driving gosh guys somethings wrong with my truck then my pyro hits 1000 by 55-60 when i lay on it unloaded and touches 600 just cruising no smoke though ip not up and ip and injectors are fine no white smoke or rough running but of course a clogged airfilter may have a little to do with it

i have to have the pedal to the floor to hit 800 now and thats on a 12% grade. Going 60mph in a 4.10 C6 setup gets hot but never over 800 anymore. Fuel was a bit high. What is your intake and exhaust like?

okay so my wastegate is pinned to its location. I cant turn it because there are two indents in the side that has the hole on it. here is a pic with identification. It feels like it will twist in half if i turn any harder......thoughts?

Wreck dont try to do it on the truck... take it and put it in a vice and use either a good set of channel locks or a really good set of vice grips... Also spray some penetrating lube on it and let it soak a while
