    New Best, deeper in the 11's (stock-appearing)

    So I made a new personal best this weekend. 11.58@118mph with 1.58s 60'. Nothing ground breaking, but still exciting for me! I've kept it stock-appearing to enter all the work-stock sled pulls around here, but its doing well on the track too I think. 2008 F250 190k miles Factory 3.73s BTS 5r...

    Any 100% surefire way to test headgaskets

    So been messing with a 6.4 thats had studs and gaskets done, but has some coolant level anomalies. It kinda makes me think minor head gasket failure. Is there a surefire 100% to determine head gasket failure without pulling the heads? Coolant test strips or anything like that? The tank was...

    So just wanted to make a quick post with any details that might help future members. I'll try and include everything but its been a several month process so i'll miss something i'm sure. Apologies for being long-winded. First off, big thanks to Morgan at Midwest Diesel for building the...

    Easiest/cheapest EGR off tune?

    Have a friend that threw an EGR code and just wants to ****** the EGR. He is selling it ASAP though so custom tunes and such are an added cost he wants to avoid. Is there any cheap/easy canned type tunes we can throw on it to ****** the EGR and call it good?

    Tuned it now it dies

    So I tuned a friends truck with a reputable tuner(not looking to blast them) and it will die when coming to a complete stop sometimes. Return to stock, zero issues, tried several different tunes and all done the same. Is the tune highlighting an actual mechanical issue? HPOP related or...

    Finally got in the 11's! Stock-ish fuel

    So alot of you chimed in last year on me fighting to get better times at the track, and its all finally coming together! I say "stock-ish" fuel, because theoretically a factory fuel system should be able to do this, I tried a "new" pump and just couldn't get it to hold full rail, so I went with...

    New tuning option from HP Tuners!!

    This is good news for us I think! They dont sell tunes directly as far as I know, just the tuning platform. They are continually updating it and adding more features and support, (6.7 stuff soon)...

    Dana 80 into SRW 08 for sled pulling?

    So I've had quite a few suggest I upgrade from my 10.5 to a Dana 80 since I plan on pulling more and more. Figured I'd look into it a little before installing a locker and rebuilding my sterling 10.5. Online research shows I could get a Dana 80 from a 99-03 and it will have the 8x170 lug...

    Upgraded to 75 atmo, same mph at track. Thoughts?

    Long story short, I upgraded to an RCD 75 atmo and didnt gain any MPH at the drag strip. Longer version: I've been running my truck at the drag strip after almost every set of mods just to track progress. I managed a 12.8@106mph on stock turbos fuel and front suspension. Eventually went...

    When is a HP turbo required?

    So i've bought a RCD75mm and wastegate setup, i'm on stock fuel and will probably be that way for quite some time. When is a HP 59 turbo required? Will I have any issues without it, assuming its healthy? What gains would I see with one?

    Stock appearing HP turbo upgrade?

    I dont see as much mentioned about the HP turbo, are there upgraded modified "stock appearing" ones? I've seen all the options for atmos, but havent seen as much about the other one. Not to beat another dead horse either, but I'll ask it. Does the stock-appearing 71-76's run the risk of tearing...

    Actual gains with 6.0 manifolds

    I'm about to go cab-up, and everyone swears by their 6.0 manifolds and custom up-pipes. Aside from the reliablity, has anyone actually proven performance differences between the two? I know they have been flowbenched side by side and the 6.4 flowed better in that scenario, but its hard to...

    Turbo install kit, anyone use the victor reinz equivalent?

    I'm pretty sure Victor Reinz makes the oem stuff, but has anyone tried their turbo install kit? It is cheaper than motorcraft. GS33566 http://www.amazon.com/Victor-Reinz-GS33566-Turbocharger-Mounting/dp/B00D8FU7MK

    fan stuck on?

    I think my fan is stuck on. Truck barely builds heat at idle. It will warm up on high idle, but as soon as I kick it off it cools down. I see the fan spinning, but I know that us standard with mechanical fans. New thermostats about 2k ago. Any sensors or wiring I can check?

    Where to buy tunes from? Any Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals?

    So i'd like to get custom tunes for my Mini-Maxx. Hear alot of good things about Gearhead, but where do I buy them? Straight from GH or from a vendor? Do I buy the MCC Unlock straight from H&S as well? Finally, anybody doing a sale on custom tunes?

    2 port coolant tank update

    I just found out that there is an updated tank with only 1 port on the front. Mine is a 2 port with the top port capped off. I havent had any coolant issues, but now i'm studded and egr deleted. Should I update? New tank and cap I assume, if so?
