I had new heads made with larger ports, made my own intakes, etc.. To try and help make this work. The headers I am working on are a upswept...

    What size nozzles

    I am going to run 350cc injectors in my truck, getting closer little by little. Any way, would 125's or 150's be the ticket? An explanation for the suggestion as well would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

    Looking at a project

    My 07 got trashed by a log truck. I have been looking around and want another 6.0 truck. I'm going in the morning to look at an 05 ccsb 4wd xlt with a spun main, guy says the truck is in vgc minus the motor, wants $4500 for it. It has 215k for miles. This is a good thing for me as the rotating...

    Getting wheels widened?

    My tires are on their last legs bfg 275/65/20 on stock 20s. I want to run 35x12.50's. I've seen these tires on stock wheels and they look stupid, being pooched out and all. And I haven't found another wheel I really like. Can I get my factory wheels widened to 10.5 or 11", or am I asking for...

    Help for a friend

    Helped a buddy install the dashboss with egt and fp add ons. We disconnected the batteries for safety's sake. Everything went fine until we started it up. It started the grayish smoke and kept smoking even after fully warmed up. Not a death cloud but like a muffler about done burning off...

    Stiction?

    I am putting this up for a buddy who is having white/grey smoke at startup and until the eot hits around 140*-150* then clears right up. Could this be stiction? The truck does not run rough or take long to start(anywhere between 2 and 4 turns of the engine). Ficm main power is 58v in every way...

    Nonvgt turbines

    With all the talk of swapping turbine housings and so forth, what about messing around with the turbine wheels? As far as having different blade counts that is. I never hear any talk of this other than what size they are when someone buys them or what comes stock out of the box. I am sure...

    Slicks

    I didn't get a chance to go to the track this summer to see what et's my truck would put down, having a baby puts a damper on things like this, not that it's a bad thing though. Anywho, next summer, I wat to send this thing down the track. Well, my current tires will make one heck of a smoke...

    Might go back compound?

    My wife has been rockin' the single s475 for a while and it has been great. Doesn't really need any special instruction to drive other than don't tow. She asked about going back to a compound setup and was looking at a s366 over something. What would be a good primary and injector combo? Could...

    CTS will not load

    My CTS gets to the pid page and will say loading like normal, but never loads and cuts off. I have reset it and it will work the first time I start the truck, but the next time I go to start the truck it makes it to loading and cuts off again. I wait roughly 10 sec every time after the glow...

    bellows Q

    Finally have all the parts to put my leftover s475 on the '10. On the up-pipes, should I leave the bellows on when we make up the new pipes or just weld up solid tubing to the charger? It looks like the 6.0 in that everything except the DP is connected to the engine. Would this be a good idea...

    S475 question

    I am going to try an re-purpose the s475 off my 6.0 for my wife's 2010 this summer. It has the 1.10 housing with 87 wheel. I had read about this housing being too big and a 1.0 or .90 being used. Will the 87 wheel clear a 1.0 housing or will I have to step down to the 83?

    HPOP bleed off?

    I have an 07 and am in the middle of a compound project. Is there anyway to rig up a bleed off to help get the air out of the oil system to help with startup? It took quite a few cranks when I put in 175's a while back to get it started and wondered if something along these lines would help out?
