Thanks bud.The big clutch really isnt that bad to daily drive. I bought it to hold power and it was on top of their list. So i said give it to me. It hasnt slipped once yet. I would recommend it to anybody even for a daily driver on just tuning.

I run the 3850 also. I figure if my 5'4" 120 lb wife can drive it around town, it is streetable. Never had a problem with it. My only complaint is the slow shift speeds. Have you done anything to try to improve it? Is the rest of the tranny stock?

Nice. The only thing ive done is add a short throw shifter kit from midwest trans. It helped alot with shifting plus it helped clearence the lariat center console.

Nice truck.
Do you have the reworked release lever from Southbend as well or are you using the factory piece?

Yea and it made one helluva difference cause i ran the stocker at first cause there was no upgraded release lever when i first got.

Sounds like a whole lot of lag to me without a torque converter. Is it super duper smokey before it lights? Because i know that 75 isn't on boost all the time LOL

What turbine did you go with?

Yes its laggy down low til it lights. Sucks in NJ cause they r hard around my area. I can control the smoke pretty well but its no fun. But when it does light its a blast to drive. Kinda hard to control. But i plan on trying a smaller housing from Craig and see if i can get spool up better. If not i have a plan for it. Its a 87mm turbine.

wats the specs on it? thinking bout trying an 80/87 with .9 a/R if the 72 is too small

jdgleason · Apr 22, 2012

I don't think an 80 is a good idea in any dd application...

That's how it is for me with my 75. I can control the smoke but its no fun in denver cause I hate to smoke people out and everyone punches it off every stoplight.

75/87 1.0 housing. I have plans in the works right now. But i can say now its not an 80.

Exactly. I didnt even wanna think about it.

Dont get me wrong its a blast to drive when the turbo is lit. It just sucks cause it comes down to the 6spd is the problem y i cant drive it normally. U guys with the autos get to have all the fun LOL
