Welp, our local car club down here (Little Rock Racing Scene) had a fund raiser/Dyno Day for one of our members who lost everything down in New Orleans. He opened up the dyno for how ever many runs we wanted, just so long as we made a donation to the fund. I think we raised something like $3k. :woot

Anywho, on to the numbers. Now, let me start off by saying that they didn't have a diesel pickup, so my TQ numbers have been figured by the equation for figuring out TQ at a given HP rating. So, they are within 1-2lb/ft of actual numbers. Trust me, it took like 20 minutes worth of math to figure this crap out. :lol:

Well, My mods are only a 4" turboback, no muffler, no cat, and the ZooDad mod. My programmer is a Hypertech Power Programmer III (which by the way I have been Beta testing for the past month and is now available for the 03-06 6L's..../shameless plug) running on Stage 3. Advertised claim is +115Hp and +200Tq. Well, they're dead on *****. My truck laid down an IMPRESSIVE 379.1Hp/612.8Tq. So, that's an extra +15Hp/+8Tq over Hypertech's claim by just opening up the exhaust!

But seriously though, this Hypertech Power Programmer III is AWESOME!! You can run Whatever stage you want to, Stage 1,2 or 3, and still tow your full alloted weight! ABSOLUTELY NO towing restrictions! I pulled a 10k car trailer today, loaded with a Ford Lightning with the Stage 3 tune, up and down hills. I saw a max of 38lbs boost and 1300F EGT's. And that's on STAGE 3!!

Take it for what you will, but this this is teh r0x0rZ! I think Motohaven should look into carrying it!

 

I would be seriously concerned with stock head gaskets and bolts at 38PSI.

Good #s though!

 

38PSI boost and 1300deg. EGTs? You're running that engine way too hard... things are going to melt/blow up if you keep that up...

 

It won't be long before your coolant resevoir looks like Old Faithful.

 

The truck saw 38lbs and 1300F for about a minute and a half. The truck never even hinted at straining. Plus, towing is a rare occurance for me anyway.

Plus, it's all in the tuning......if you tune the truck right, you're going to have NOOOOO problems!

 

i can tell you from experiance that you only need to over boost for 10 sec. to smoke a head gasket. you wont notice any strain. really start saving now because your looking at big bucks to R+R the heads.

 

Alright, so I can't count. Here goes my explanation......

I have a 60lb boost gauge in my truck. All the lines after 10psi are in 1lb increments, before that, they are in 2lb increments. Stupid me, thought that 34lbs was 38lbs.


My sincerest apologies to everyone. I'm an idiot.
