up to how much weight, would you guess?

a light tow, say a few quads on a trailer, or a average travel trailer, or maybe a gooseneck with a skidloader or two?

I saw on ig that it does burnouts at high rates of speed.

LOL That it does!

But yes! I do have some updates.

We decided that for DPC/Nitrous/Driving the way I do, that thick wall up pipes and a little different manifold setup might be the way to go, so I added some BD 6.0 exhaust manifolds with a twist, thanks to Nathannial. He came up with an idea for some custom up pipes with a gasket mated to some machined manifolds that eliminate the ball and socket connection that usually leaks anyway. Everything came together really sweet. On top of that, we finished my underneath wastegate piping as well!

Thanks to Eric, we had the cab up friday evening in an hour and a half, and spent another couple hours pressure washing the underside of the cab and the frame, and cleaning up the motor. Just took a few hours sunday rerouting wastegate lines, swapping on the new manifolds and pipes, and setting the cab down. I appreciate all the help buddy! The truck drives much better now without a drive pressure leak, and I am ready to spend some time dialing it in.

Our dyno had a load sensor sh1t the bed, so we are waiting on a new one before I can get it on the dyno and start messing with the gates and nitrous and all that. For now, I'm pretty content with driving it around since it's so fun on the street. I have been lazy on talking to Matt with the tuning as it's a little hazy on the bottom end, but gets better with some boost. On the 'tow' setting, I can roll into it almost smokeless, and it feels really strong. The big tune is ***king silly.

This is rolling into it on the tow tune, trying to keep it from spinning...

And here are some pictures of everything else... So happy to have Nathannial's stuff on my truck! Gorgeous as always.

JD watch the low side AC line out of the compressor.
It might be easier also to turn the line around so it is straight out of the compressor.
You can rotate the fittings on the pipe.
Nice setup man, I like it.
