Unfortunately I blew my head gasket right before I got to the track. Decided to run it anyways... :dw:

OMG that TA sounded terrible.

 

[Paulinator]

when did you pop the head gasket

 

[MMShaggy]

I popped it before I got to the track. Coolant hose broke on a WOT run, truck overheated.... and well heat + HG = no good.

Thought it was an oil cooler leaking at first, so I replaced that. Still oil in overflow, and on my c16 tune and high boost the overflow tank pressurizes, so thats a HG. Sucks cause it would pressurize on my DD tune and lower boost, so I really thought it was the oil cooler.

Every time I see your truck Shaggy it makes me want to put my little pulley on to try and hit 10s. To bad your HG popped.

Well I think it lifted... I'm still driving the truck fine... Shoot raced those bikes and no coolant sprayed... Only doing it on my kill Tune.

Oh well, stupid $1.50 clamp cost me another head gasket.:cuss:

Oh and yea man, throw a 2.7 upper, and a 8# lower and let that sucker rip. It's a rush the amount of TQ these fockers have off the line.

Been there done that, I drove my truck for a month or 2 before ripping it apart.

I have a whipple 2.5 upper with a 6# lower, should pull 24 PSI but before that I need to get the tranny fixed

 

[MMShaggy]

Oh I dont DD my truck with that pulley setup.... poor little whipple would be spinning so hard on the interstate.

I run a 3.3 upper for DD. Depending on weather conditions I switch either a 2.7 or 3" upper for the track.

Some how my stock tranny is still holding together after all this abuse and 85k+ on the clock.

That would be my race setup. I'm currently running a 3.25" upper and 6# lower for DD purposes.

Nice truck. I'm glad my moms Lightning is stock, I would never hear the end of it if she beat my GN like that
